I love the work you put into it. for my screen i used a metra kit like blk02si but it doesn't look quite as good as either of yours cause i just zip tied the case to the metra kit really quick. i gotta usb hub in my console compartment for gps,my phone, wifi and bluetooth i'll have to post it. my next project was gonna be to put in a rear cam and i got some ideas now... thnx

Cool, I'll be looking for your thread with pictures! BTW, it's a 320W power supply and I cannot use the computer while the car is off (battery would probably drain in 10 minutes). So I have it setup to do a soft shut down about 10 seconds after I turn the engine off and turn on with ignition.

I want to have a lower power setup in the future, but for now, I just used my old desktop gaming rig, which is all I have. Radeon X850XT video card is overkill for a 7" carputer screen and probably sucks up 100 watts by itself.. but it's all I have.
