The hellooooo... was bad, agreed. Meant it as silly but definitely understand how it could be taken as impolite. The run is the 25th. We are going from temecula/lake elsinore area to Stateline. We attempt to do as much dirt as possible. It is about 400 miles, and it is about 12 hours behind the wheel. Check out this link for more info.
http://www.jeepaholics.com/support/t...TOPIC_ID=57289 I am dittohead over there too. And yes, this community is actually quite nice and tame. Extremely helpful too. I am a total newb to building carputers. I am sure my first attempt will simply be putting a bunch of used junk I have laying around into my center console, attempting some cooling, and then rebuilding it as I learn the tricks. I already have a 1000 watt inverter in my Jeep, and I have been reading tons of conflicting information about this. It's noisy, it's great, it's the only way, it should never be done... I usually don't mind doing my research, but when the information is so varied it gets tough to make a decision. So for now, and for reasons of time, I will likely just stick a tower type set up in my Jeep and see how bad I screw it up. My real concern is the hard drive. i will use an old spare I have for the testing, but i will likely buy something that is designed for more abuse after this one dies. I will try some vibration damping, maybe some type of suspension system for it.
