1965 VW Beetle - Low budget CarPc

jbk · 08-21-2006, 06:14 PM

Hello guys....
I am new to this hobby but i have put a few things together
and i decided to built a carpc... As a (working)student i cannot
afford a lot of money but for my needs (mp3 and a movie)
These things will be enough(i hope so...)

Napoli I Motherboard
Celeron CPU 633Mhz @ 2euros
HDD 20Gb
PSU 350Watt already in house
An extra PSU which connects directly to the cars battery and gives out 220V
@ 35euros
Hami 8" @ 130euros @ebay
Mini keyboard @ 10euros also @ebay

I have almost everything in house, i am just missing the display yet but its on its way...
I have not started building but will in the next week...
here is a photo of my car with its "kid" the new beetle
cya soon

Here are the interior pics... as you can see, there is a lot to be done to make it look a little better...
I guess i will not do that at this point, just install the Pc and then ill see...
