    Noob's first carputer

    So here I am starting my first carputer. I've ordered a 7" Lillyput and a 80w pwr supply. I'm using a motherboard that I've had for a while now, P3 Celeron w/ 256 megs of ram. Just enough to play music and run Iguidance. I'm using the Holux GR-231 Bluetooth GPS receiver. Works great, I've never had any problems with it shutting down like others have had. I'm putting it all, except the GPS of course, in an electrical junction box I found at Lowes. No holes pre drilled or anything but I have a dremmel so thats not a prob. I plan on doing some sort of graphic on the top with plexi glass, but not too sure what yet. Maybe an antenna like the Netstumbler icon. Anyway, here are some of the first pics. I'll post more once I get the stuff I orderd from MP3car.com.

    sounds like a plan. you might want to use the dremel to chop that box down to a smaller size...
