Sup,
I've been checking out the forum and think that a carputer would be kick ***!
I have done some good old fasioned xbox modding and figure that an xcarputer would really kick ***.
I figure my set up will go something like this;
I take out my headunit and its pocket so there I will have enough room for a nice(cheap
7" screen.
Then I have the xbox mounted under the passenger seat, If it wont fit as is then I can just take it apart. Then I can just run the xbox outputs to the head unit.
Here in lies a problem what am I to do with the head unit? I could mount it in the glove box or something, or just leave it where it is and get an indash screen. Ill have to look at prices a bit to decide what Ill do, also if the screen is in dash I figure that the car will have less of a chance of getting stollen.
The main thing I want my carputer to do is gps. I was wondering if linux had any really good gps software. I need something that will tell me turn by turn what to do becuase I have a really short memory.
Other wise I can run windows programs just slow.
If you guys think the xbox would be a bad idea, what about a a full sized tower in the trunk. I figure it should work good as a fall back plan.
Another thing has eneyone ever had a problem with a cd in the pc drive skipping while driving. Becuase my ordinary head unit skips alot and it was made for it, I think my suspention is too stiff for this stuff.
