looks good

Awesome! I thought you didn't have clear front repeaters, and I didn't think you have xenon headlights? The trunk looks as clean as it can be. You really should think about moulding the Xenarc in dash...The Passat is not only a good looking car, but a computer friendly one as well...Nice job!

i am going to mount it in dash, but i have to get a diferent bazel, and bracket for the bazel. with time it comes true too...

Looks good, damn i wish i had soemwhere to put my PC like that!

how is that P3 500 going?

BoyNextDoor · 04-08-2005, 10:08 AM

you wouldn't belive, but it's actually pretty good. I thought i will be suffering from "oomphness" but not that bad. It's slow on boot (i didn't measure it yet) but once it's in there, it's ok. My only problem right now i that i have to go to the back when turning it on. The opus is acting up, or maybe i wired it wrong. BC when i plug it in it automaticly turns on, even if the is off. I plugged a lead from the back of the stereo, that tells the AMP when to turn on. so i think it should be like whenever i turn on the stereo the amp and the pc turns on, and the same to off. Anoter thing is, that when i shut it down, XP sas it's safe to turn off the pc now, and nuttin happens. any solutions?

Scouse Monkey · 04-08-2005, 10:17 AM

cool.

As for the problem, is the bios power management set right?

BoyNextDoor · 04-08-2005, 03:08 PM

I'll check that... another problem. with the hitty roads around here and all the bumps, the videocard slides out of the AGP slot. have to find a way to mount it there. maybe ill se some god ol' Priority tape...
