Thread: Evo-puter In-dash WIP

Wow nice work man. I was thinking about the way you are doing that before i put my carpc in the evo. I am just curious how are you aiming the screen to come out thru the bezel? You got any indash test fit pics???

Yeah I do but not with me. I am prettying the whole thing up so I will post them soon.

could you tell more about that vga cable you made? i may be able to use something of the sorts in my fiero install since i will be dealing with a very small amount of space. ya know what i mean if you know fiero's.

Yeah Fiero's don't exactly have a lot of space

The best ones I found were at:

http://www.btx.com/

But they have a minimum order of $50 USD

AHHHHHH, your setup is so cute in a way...... I wish mine could be cute, lol. Mine is monstorous, but I just had to have everything known to car pcs'. Plus i drive a Dodge and the opening is so small.... not even your setup would fit it.

Do you have much heat build up, I would assume the LCD builds up heat, because I know my EBY701s', all seem rather warm.

Haha, cute??

The hottest thing is indeed the LCD but I have a fan on the rear of the enclosure that helps a little.

I want to have a lot too. In fact, there are a few pieces that are external. Like a CD in the glove, HD radio bolted behind the dash, etc.

Are you going to be doing anything fancy with graphics? I think that was the main thing that made my build grow out of control, the fact I wanted 4 screens, also sound, I had to have 5.1, tried to upgrade to 7.1 but the Turtle beach SRM sucks big balls. So now im just gonna split the rear speakers at the soundcard for the third row seats.....

PS: who is that girl you always use in your pictures?

Just one screen for me. I am outputting stereo to the amps which run 4 internal speakers like most cars + sub.

The girl is my girlfriend, who thinks I am a huge nerd when she sees me working on this project

For anyone who still cares, here is a teaser pic of my nav program I wrote. I am still working on it and still have to get the names showing up properly without slowing down systems without 3d cards.

This is all in directx and is full 3d with shadows, transparency, customizable colors for all the different road types.

This is zoomed out so you everyone can get a better idea of the different road types.

I just picked these colors to match google maps (before all those blue street-view outlines came)
