Thread: Fiat Punto Cabrio CarPC - btbe is back

After being away from the car pc business for some time because of a lack of money, time and a broken touchscreen.
But this summer I got a new car and started form the scratch...

And thats whats done:
Installed a second 55Ah battery in the trunk, connected via a relais which is closed for charging 15 seconds after th ignition is on. Added a 1F PowerCap to stableize the current.
The CarPC is also localized in the trunk. Specs:
U-Buddy Barebone
P4 2,0GHz
512MB DDR Ram
60GB 2,5" HDD
M2-ATX 160W PowerSupply
8-Channel parallel Relais Card
Haicom GPS
7" TFT Touchscreen w Autobrightness
BT-Stick
WLAN
Freecom DVB-T Stick

Guess thats it ... Lets get over to the pictures:
