Absolutely. I documented the project from beginning to end. Take a look:

blog.myspace.com/2bounce

the monitor is a hitachi 8" touchscreen

I also included a video. Warning: explicit language - not suitable for the young or old.

it's funny

so many people inquiring about the matrix screensaver.

when this project was just a thought in my mind - all i could see is the (matrix) displaying beautifully against the entire console....and the day i would be finished and the project a realization...

i'm glad so many people had my same reaction....

hah! thanks - i luv this car. BTW, i noticed the Cadi Emblem - u drive a cadi?

It took me about two months with the wife and kids and moments of doubting myself - this created a big gap between start and completion....

uhm - case? there is no case! i stuffed everything behind the monitor! it's all well mounted but it all sits stuffed in behind the monitor. The hard drive i mounted in a small area over the glove compartment (used springs and a long IDE cable and power supply).

So, you're running all of that off of a M2-ATX PSU?

Dang... I was worried about that PSU having enough power to fuel my system, and mine is a P4 Mobile 2.4 Ghz, less RAM, smaller HDD, and less accessories.

Good news for me, I guess
