-And of course,  Road Runner.
Future Plans:

That is very impressive! That bezel fits in your Trailblazer a lot better than it does in my Impala. Glad everything got worked out with the Opus. I love how you have everything hidden so neatly.

I have a Trailblazer (not w/ carpc). I've always wondered what it'd look like with a carpc in it. Nicely done. If I were to do a CapPC in the Trailblazer, I probably wouldn't use those compartments, but that's because I already use them for tow ropes, trailer receivers, spotlights, etc. But for you application, that worked out REALLY well.

One thing I don't like is the spacing between the mount the dash trim...it and easy fix, but this week end was hot

I have a lot of a couple of things under the back seats and the hitch, I just leave it on.

props, very well done.
I like the fans, the only thing that i did not like that much was the headrest monitors, they look kinda out of place to me, in the picture they look almost like they are velcro'd on to the headrests instead of installed in them.
I really like the rest of it though. Very clean and well thought out.

you ever try to use internet on it? The reason I ask is bacause I had a version of TinyXP and the network never worked...wired or wireless...it would never aquire an IP from the router

nice, i have also wondered wat the trailblazer would look like with the bezel. btw, i think you could've been able to fit the carputer behind the dash/glove compartment.

What if I need to do maintenance...I would have to rip the dash just to get to the PC. There is plenty of room behind the dash...
