Neat setup. Is the system running on an inverter?

Yup. I running low on $$$. Might get a M2ATX soon. Much more efficient by the looks of it.

M2ATX isn't going to do much for you with a laptop. It's designed for ATX-compatible hardware.
A Carnetix P1900 will serve you better.

Thanks DarquePervert,

I already switch to PC. My laptop is for work. Don't want to ruin my data in it. Thanks for the suggestion.

I almost forgot, this is the few picture I didn't upload yesterday.

This is my night vision reverse camera. I mod to camo it from prying eye. It is Ribena Berry's hand

And my trackball mouse. I also use wireless keyboard and mic for voice recognition.


And tada... my ride's exterior




The front (day)

GPS here is quite good and accurate. I use it most of the time. I use maps from http://www.malsingmaps.com/portal/ and i brought my GPS module from a guy call Kemen. Try search him in Lelong.com.my. Nice person. Software from Garmin MapSource. You can have detailed guide from sifu in aboved web.

About the jagged edge for USB input, I already change it with new plate. I know its ugly but it for experimentation during my early attempt. No pain no gain.
