Thinkin about getting back into the scene, but I need digitalww's help

wizardPC · 01-22-2003, 11:23 PM

As many of you know, I once had a beautiful truck with a 10.4" touchscreen and almost everything you could possibly want in a carpter (DVD, GPS, MP3, Wireless internet [celluar and WiFi], and a relay card).

Last summer, the truck decided that it didnt like any of its parts anymore (new fuel pump, new starter, new alternator, new AC, new wiper motors all in one month) so I sold it, but ripped out the carputer.

I sold everything except the actual computer, which is now serving as a very expensive router. I now drive a 93 Saturn SC2 5-speed, and I am feeling the itch to computerize it--but I need advice on a screen.

Obviously I would love to put another 10.4" touchscreen in there, but I sold my old one and even if I didnt there isnt enough dash space in a little car like that anyway. So, I am pondering putting an in-dash motorized display like:

This one from DigitalWW
-OR-
This one which is popular on Ebay

My question is this: am I REALLY gonna want to spend the extra $130 for 0.6" more? I'd love to get a VGA motorized touchscreen, but we all know that's not going to happen anytime in the near future. I absolutely know that anything less than 6.4 is going to be totally unacceptable, and I prefer something that has a tuner built in, so those are my pretty much my only choices.

The reason I asked for digitalww's help is because his screen I listed is not mentioned anywhere here (according to the search feature). Is this because you think that it is not good for our purposes, or because you think that no one will buy it because it is way more than the non-motorized 7"?

The reason that this monitor is not that popular is because not a lot of people are willing to pay an extra $230 for a motorized screen. Nevertheless a few guys here have the monitor: Click here

Also you have to realize that the 7 in motorized screen doens't have a built in TV tuner. The Xernex(however you spell it) is a good screen. 640x480 and touchscreen. No work required. I would love to get a 10.5 in 800x600 touchscreen myself.

If you have a 10.4" monitor I have a perfect 10.4" Touch kit

Do you have a link for the 10.4 touch kits? Resistive or capsitive? usb, pci, or serial?

It is the same kit as this (resistive) with a 10.4" panel.

I only had a couple of samples and I already promised them to some of you. If there is a demand for 10.4" panels let me know and I will order them for next time.
