This is not exactly a CARputer - I modified my old box just like test run before building a pc for my car (many pictures):

I also published an extensive article on Windows Optimization:

Any questions or comments are welcomed!

I wish you had an article on optimizing Windows 98

Anyways, looking good! The orange fan looks stylish

Thanks!
The orange fan is by Thermaltake. @ 12v it sounds like Cessna, but @ 8 it's virtually silent.

After my original post I received several requests asking about temperature characteristics of my modified box. Here they are:

Ambient (room) 78°F

Initial boot:

MB Temperature 28 C / 82 F
CPU Temperature 37.5 C / 101 F

After 2 hours of UT2004:

MB Temperature 30 C / 86 F
CPU Temperature 43 C / 109 F
