Talking CarPC (tell me what you think)

Hi guys
i am writing today to tell you what i am doing. I am From Australia Perth and we are doing a TV show showing people how to make up there car like Pimp My Ride on MTV but a DIY show.

Also we are starting our Car PC shop that will be all about putting PCs in cars.

However need some help.

How much would some one pay for a PCMCIA to PCI Card have a look in google if you don't know what they look like..

Thanks

I don't understand... Are you producing them and trying to guage what to charge? Or are you asking for store prices, cuz you know you can just have a look in froogle or pricewatch or even eBay.

A PCI card that allows a desktop to read PCMCIA shouldn't be all that expensive.
The first Google hit has a single-port unit for US$32.79.

I think you need to talk to the vendor to get that question answered.
Could you, by any chance, be purchasing from the mp3car.com store?

Yet you will sell your system on the net? Dream on hooker

I have no idea what you are asking... I got my PCMCIA to PCI card for $30 shipped. I would pay $30 shipped. That answer your question? I hope your "system" includes a lot more than just a PCMCIA PCI Card

lol I was going to say the same

OP not being funny but if your going to have a website and sell thing, then learning to do full marketing is a big thing you need to do, like me and any one else has to do that owns a website that sells stuff.

I know what you're talking about. A PCMCIA device that allows you to run PCI cards on say a laptop. I would not recommend such a device for use in a CarPC for two reasons 1) they're expensive 2) they require external power.

This is your best bet, it's $1,000 and will work with 12v dc. See, I told ya - expensive.
