2003 ford ranger

computer is nothing fancy just an old micro atx gateway desktop from around 2003 powered by a M2 atx 160w and put into a plexiglass box. Computer was free thats why i went with it.
monitor is a xenarc 700IDT that i gutted out of its shell and mounted into my dash.
sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.


computer is stuffed behind drivers seat. not much room in this tiny pick up

runnin xp

for a front end im running RR with the new eLite skin
mouse and keyboard im running GRemote software that allows me to use my HTC touch pro 2's keyboard and gsensor (or touch screen) as a mouse and keyboard. pretty sweet i think.
also can tether data from my phone.
also considering trying out a slingbox to get cable tv on this thing.

nothing fancy but it works well and im happy with it. let me know you think

SjLucky is on a distinguished road
does it have an on-board sound? IE does it have audio ports on the mother board? If so then it could be that winamp is looking to it or output. If not, then check your volume levels in windows mixer. Try using an mp3/cd/portable media device in the amp just to test it to make sure its not the problem. then try using headphones on the pc to making sure its outputting audio. Pretty simple stuff to check out.

Did you make your own bezel for that screen?

Its funny how much your dash looks like mine...

well i got one speaker to play and it sounds pretty damn good. turns out it was a speaker wire issue. one of my connections popped out. ill have to look into the other side still.

the bezel is factory i just had to trim out the back out of it a bit to accept the monitor.came out pretty good tho i think
