That is very impressive! That bezel fits in your Trailblazer a lot better than it does in my Impala. Glad everything got worked out with the Opus. I love how you have everything hidden so neatly.
I didn't meet my deadline which was last Sunday (Florida Meet) so I guess next time.
This is the second time I install a Carputer, and boy I did learn from my mistakes.

I have a Trailblazer (not w/ carpc). I've always wondered what it'd look like with a carpc in it. Nicely done. If I were to do a CapPC in the Trailblazer, I probably wouldn't use those compartments, but that's because I already use them for tow ropes, trailer receivers, spotlights, etc. But for you application, that worked out REALLY well.

love ths stealth look. im trying to do sorta the same thing with my install. Are those VGA screens on the headrests?
props, very well done.
I like the fans, the only thing that i did not like that much was the headrest monitors, they look kinda out of place to me, in the picture they look almost like they are velcro'd on to the headrests instead of installed in them.
I really like the rest of it though. Very clean and well thought out.
My Install
Software:
CFiG v1
iGuidance Plugin for CF
CarShell
Working shell for a CarPC
StopWatch
StopWatch plugin remade for centrafuse RC1
you ever try to use internet on it? The reason I ask is bacause I had a version of TinyXP and the network never worked...wired or wireless...it would never aquire an IP from the router
