Have a great time guys! Take lots of pics

I'm off to Best Buy to buy my sound cabeling, etc, cuz they ARE the cheapest around!! (My friend has an emploiees discount.. about 1/3 the list price for most audio equipment

But the installers are ASSHOLES!)

There's also this map right from Fry's website.
Fry's - Renton, WA

I'm moving that day and won't be able to make it by.

...but maybe next time. My system is not even installed anyway. I'm running MPXF in DOS using a 20x4 line LCD screen!

I've had this setup haning around for about 5 years now. I used to use it in another car back in 1999 but had problems with a weak power inverter. Now its just been boxed for a few years.

I would like to just take a quick moment and say thanks to everyone who showed up for today's meet. There were 5 car computers present and we had 5-6 people show up without systems as well. I didn't take any pictures, but I am hoping that the ones who did post a few here.

I also want to say thanks to those that came out, met some great people and got some good ideas. Hopefully we can do it again and get a few more systems out there.

It was a pleasure to meet everyone, thanks, and take care!

Yeah, it was nice to see other systems in action. I hope that next time we will have more people/systems. I enjoyed meeting everyone and look forward to next time!

That was cool

I don't think I caught anyones name though. Maybe I'll have a carputer for the next meet.

orangewhip · 07-19-2004, 06:32 PM

Yeah, both my wife and I enjoyed the meet. We even went back to Fry's on Sunday and spent another hun or so! hahaha

I just wish I didn't have my hd problems the night before and you guys could see my system running, but hopefully you all got a good idea as to what I was going for (stealth).

For those of you that didn't see the thread about my case, you can see it here

SiGmA_X · 07-20-2004, 02:26 AM

Nice, glad you guys had fun

Pictures, anyone?

My CarPC is getting fiberglassed in tonight, the LCD is in (Dash out, LCD molded in, etc) and will be setup soon. My car is going in for some insurance body work tho, so it could be a little while

I'll post in-progress pics of the panels tho

I would be interested in seeing how you are building your tank circuit. Are you up for another meet?

Yuriy · 07-20-2004, 12:52 PM

Ohh, too bad I didn't make it

Although I did actually test my car pc in working enviroment, meaning I used it to play music while driving and while sitting at the campfire. With a little tweaking I think I could say that mine is complete

So, how about some pictures? If you don't have a place to upload them use www.photobucket.com

Dan Marsh · 07-21-2004, 03:28 PM

I think it would be really fun to meet maybe once a month to work on a project of some sort. This could be anything from demoing software, building tank circuits, dash fabrication how-to's, etc. Is anyone else interested in starting a Seattle area car-computing user group? I can probably set up a mailing list and a wiki pretty easily.

Yuriy · 07-21-2004, 07:35 PM

Sure! Or we can jusr request a section in these forums dedicated to us.

Yuriy · 07-29-2004, 03:08 PM

Any pictures?

specsix · 08-05-2004, 05:53 PM

I would definately would be up for another meeting before our awesome summer is over.

Yuriy · 08-05-2004, 10:14 PM

Me too! This time I'll make it for sure!
