i'm from the uk and I got a 7.2 VGA Lilliput touch screen, a 1G mini-itx, a travla din sized computer case, 20Gb HD and DVD rom. The whole PC is going in the headunit slot how flash will that be :-)

Got my 12v DC regulator from a bulk buy with people on http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/vbb/showt...threadid=52441. Once it arrives this weekend I'm going to install the lot and be ready for happy days

BTW Just waiting for Mappoint 2004 to finish downloading and I'll be all ready for testing on the bench.

Too col what car I can't fit the c134 into my din.... too deep ... no I can measure 10" but Its a neat system I still have to put the c134 in the boot as its too deep I would like to know a methad od getting the EPIA - M Mobo from draing power when its off though thats the biggest issue I have.

I don't want to use a switch to control its 12v feed either, I'd like to use the Power management and stop it draining the second battery

And another here, in Derby, kinda finished with my install, just need to clean up some of the cables and case in the boot... But the weather is way too cold now to do anything now... desperatly need a garage ;(

Enforcer · 11-27-2003, 06:16 AM

I hear you on that garage thing, last weekend I was going to run the 9 pin cable for my Lilliput from the boot to the front of the car, but it ****itently rained the whole of last weekend. even had to fore go a round of golf Sunday morning

NB spelling mistake intentional

I'm down in Loughton, Essex, just inside the M25.

Carputer in a Mitsubishi Carisma, and when I get a chance to swap the Mk2 Escort running gear into the Anglia 105E, i'll have one in that too!

Another UKer here... My setup thats mentioned in my sig (the bottom line) is pretty much complete... I havent had time to put up the website tho, since I'm bogged down with assignments atm.

I'll second terran's comment about CPC... there very good. Both cheap, and have fast delivery.

Blop · 11-28-2003, 02:46 AM

Im derby too funboy we ought to meet up....love to see your setup.

Im' in Warrington just between Liverpool and Manchester, and I think I started the other UK thread

So far Mini ITX, built in 10.4" TFT with touch, FM Modulator and invertor, 30gig HDD, and USB2 DVD, with Mappoint, USB GPS, Logitech wireless Keyboard and Mediaengine 2. All was working well until the sound card jack plug came out, and I think I managed to short something fumbling arround behind the centre console to put it right. Screen just flashes white stripes now. Think the Mobo is Snafu'd.

Will need to pull everything out, and check for faulkts,a nd replace what is dead. Missing my CarPC, and been without it for about a month as I haven't had the money to sort anything yet.
