What basic knowledge and/or skills do I need in order to put a CarPC in my car?

First, I’d like to thank MatrixPC for his idea on this section.

Many people are very interested in putting a PC in their cars only to realize that there are a few skills that you need to at least have a grasp on before attempting a project like this.

Knowing how to build a computer and understanding the basics of electronics and wiring are of critical importance. If you do not have these skills, I suggest that you either take the time to freshen up on these, or purchase an all in one solution like the Infill G4 Powered by StreetDeck

Or like these units: Pre Built CarPCs

If you are interested in integrating your system into your car and trying to make it seamless, I suggest you head on over to the Fabrication Forum and read up on fabrication techniques and how-tos.

If you still have a few questions about all of this, I’d suggest spending ample amount of time in the FAQ Emporium
