Great work!

Wow... nice faceplate extension.
slick. Monitors mounted too low for my taste, but thats almost always true.
Tupperware is a bad thing to mount a computer in. that tub can build up a tremendous amount of static charge and easily fry your machine. I'd think about building a better case for it, something you could mount to the side in such a way that it wouldn't easily be seen perhaps?

My car PC: The Lost Cause!
Interesting set up. Gave me a few ideas for my own setup.
Are you worried or have you taken measures with the static in a plastic container?
Also what are you using for inverter and on/off control? Your car pc sounds similar to my plan. Except I'm debating the touchscreen route.
EDIT: While I was lookin' at pics, Fluffy was writing what I was thinking.

i am doing something similar. don't you think that you could ground the case and problem solved? good looking setup

I really like the touch pad idea in the ashtrayI have a Xenarc on the way so I won't need a touch pad but thats very cool never the less. Also I really like your tuperware computer case
I think I'm going to do something similar. Its nice to just pop the top off your case plus make it a little shock absorbant. Thanks.
How hard was it to extend the faceplate? What kind of stereo was it?

thanks for all the compliments, yes i am just using win XP with large Icons.
Im not too worried about the case....the mother board is grounded. Its in as much risk as a regular computer case.
Extending the face plate wasnt hard but you should have some soldering knowhow before you do it, the face plate is kensigton
