Well this is my Carputer so far
took about an hour and a bit to install to its current point, when the rain stops here ill wire in the tank battery with relay.

Intel D201GLY motherboard
1GB DDR2 ram
60Gb laptop drive
80W 12v-12v PSU with black case
7" VGA 800x600 Touchscreen
USB WIFI adapter 54mb

computer is under passenger seat, and using good sticky backed velcro to hold in inplace. all pretty basic, but works well.

I went with RoadRunner for the front end, the hacked up the iRunner skin a bit to suit my needs.

Kenwood head unit.

still waiting for my OBD1 data logger to arrive from the US.
GPS will be properly installed when i do the final wiring job for the tank battery.
im pretty happy with it as a budget system. the computer itself has more than enough grunt for what i need, and its quiet enough.

Yeah woof, your system was bad ***. The bro and his mates thought it was awesome too. I hope you get your obd data logger soon, it would be good to see that in action =P

im thinking about running an external usb cd player int eh glvoe box which is always connected. that way i can chuck something for the computer at any time instead of having to reach for the comp to do anything

Figured out where to get your maps yet?

Peace.

ive found a aussie forum where some guys have hacked up some mainstream GPS software, to take local maps, and i think there is an open source NZ map i can import into that hacking...
i have one running its got maps and is a journey logger with waypoints, but its old and rather crap. no good for navigating with

and short of spending $250+ on a program and map, that i have no idea about...it might take a while.

the carputer system itself is good, and ill guess i'll just keep tweaking little things till im happy of have broken it

might pull some amps, x-overs and some 8" subs (great mid bass) out of storage if i feel bored one w/e at home, and go crazy.

quick question what resolution are you running the screen at?
I'm thinking of getting the same screen off eBay $290 inc postage
