finally some uk car-pc modders.
hi all I'm Stan and from the link's cambs borders NR peterborough
iv not been on here for a while as i didn't have a car to put a PC in and didn't see the point in a works van. but i have had car-pc in several of my motors mainly calibra's and a transit van briefly till the engine went bang so the van went to the scrap yard.
the 1st time i did it i had loads of trouble from the amount of sanding and Filia i went through to how to get the pc to power of the ignition but i would say the biggest problem of all that i had was explaining to people why i wanted a pc in my car! some people mostly technophobes (people who have no idea of gadgets and tech )but as the years went on and i ironed out the kinks i found i have managed to get a fairly reliable system
one god send i did find this time round to getting a nice smooth finish on the screen surround and to save on the sanding i needed to do was to apply the filler to the surround the lay it on pre waxed glass and apply an even pressure to the top and leave it to set then just scrape it off the glass and a bit of minimal sanding it was almost done
not quit sure on the spec as is stuff i have just pulled together from old stuff out the shed and favors from a pc engineer mate of mine but i will give you a quick run down
1.6 ghz processor
1.2 gb RAM
80 gb hardrive
all on board graphics and sound
wireless card (Internet in the drive)
pay as you go Internet dongle (Internet on the move or parked in a field)
bluetooth (for use of my phone as the mouse when not near the touch screen)
hands free calling and voice activation commands with centrafuse HUD
plus loads that escapes me at the moment
