I wanted to put the entire PC into one of the small rear compartments.. I had to cut it all up and double sitcky everything in place… but it all fits perfect!! Note: the huge ATX power supply is just for setup and testing:

Front view of the slot.. power supply is on the right, HD is above that velcroed into place. I opted to go without an optical drive because I already have a modchipped Xbox and my headunit is MP3 capable.

I wanted to be able to hear the voice navigation while I’m listening to the radio and since I don’t care about using the PC for MP3 or media files, I tore apart an amplified desktop PC speaker and wired it into my car. ghetto I know but it works!! :) Here’s a pic of the mounted Elm Scan OBDII blackbox and ghetto speaker setup..LOL

Close up daytime pic of horsepower datalogging and the Lilliput. There was a lot of cutting necessary to fit this screen. If I had to do it again, I’d go Xenarc instead.. The lilli works great but was a little too much aggravation to setup. For the Z owners out there, you'll probably notice that I'm using a 2003 Nav pocket/door.. the 2004 door sucks!

What a nice install!

Thanks for the pics.

Can you show pics of the roof mount gps? I'm curious on how you did it. That's a cool install man.

Looks sweet dude~! do you have a pic of the dash with the cover down that goes over the monitor? Or at least that's what it looks like. Nice work.

V nice. Shame yr limiting the carputer, could do so much more.
