Finished At Last !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BeAR · 11-21-2000, 05:48 AM

Just a quick note to thank everyone on this forum for your help over the last few months. I finally finished the first incarnation of the install into my car last night, and spent a blissfull 4-5 hours driving around while at work today.
When I think of how little this setup cost when compared to a 10 or 12 disk cd changer and how good it sounds, I cant help but smile.

Protac TX PRO Motherboard
On Board Sound & Video
Cyrix 333mhx
64 meg PC133 Ram
Alpine CVA 1000e Display
30gig Quantum HDD
200 watt Invertor
IRman
Custom Console with Track Ball Mouse.

Thanks Again.

how long does it take to boot, jsut outta curiosity>? and is it setup for dvd ar nav?

i am really interested in buiilding one, but the control sems like it will be wierd to get al the functionality without a keyboard or mouse.

Rockstar, Im using Windows Millenium so it only takes about 30 - 40 seconds to boot, which isnt bad considering Win 98 took over a minute.
DVD is still a consideration, but not for quite a while yet. When the thrill of 5000 different songs wears off I might consider it

Navigation isnt an option as there aren't any software packages to suit Australia yet, that I know of.
If you are only after an MP3 system, then you shouldn't need a full keyboard or mouse. Just buy an IRMan reciever from www.evation.com, or better yet make one.
