Okay everybody! My turbo-grocery-getter is gettin' an upgrade! Have most of my parts and I thought it would be a good idea to show off the process.
What I am going for is a completely contained in-dash PC in a double din opening. I just got a raise so I splurged on some nicer parts. Unfortunately I couldn't get a 6.5" touchscreen by itself so I went with the WRX 7" bolt in. This screen will be replaced when I get a 6.5...
So anyways, here's the parts:
Commell LS-372
rebranded as Global American Inc. 3307820 <---nice folks
Core 2 Duo T7500 2.2 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 4M cache
2 GB SO-DIMM 667 MHz (PC5300)
M2-ATX and wall adapter
and all the cables and screws and junk
and the screen, of course
I also have a laptop drive as a temporary solution until the solid state SATA drives come down in price. Also to be added:
- nLite-ed XP install
- GPS
- Radio (HQCT or HD? don't know yet...)
- CD/DVD in the glovebox
- Custom front-end written by me (I like to reinvent the wheel)
I forgot to buy thermal paste so I will show it assembled when I get it.
Thanks for your attention...carry on and check back soon!
