The computer:
  • 2.0 GHz CPU
  • 1 Gb RAM
  • 80 Gb Internal HDD
Misc. Things:
  • Alpine MRP-F420 50 watts x 4 channels @ 4 Ohms RMS
  • Griffin Powermate
  • Power Switch with red led ring

I finished the screen fabrication, but I have a problem with the controller board for the lcd, so I have to wait until I fix that before the project can go any further. (See here about the problem. The audio, along with all the wiring is complete and I hope to finish over the winter break while I'm out of school. I would like to thank all of you who helped me, including AsianRida for helping me with the install, and Lloydy for his amazing skinning skillz. Also, due thanks to jason12 for his help with (attempting to) fix my monitor. Enough of that... here are some pictures:

First off, here's the car:
