Default Complete Carputer, CarPC System

I bought this Mobile Computing Solutions system but never installed it in my SC. I tested and got it set up how I wanted and then ran out of money/patience to actually put it in the car. All necessary cables included except for audio. I am not willing to part out right now, so everything listed comes with it.

Price $250

Lilliput EBY-701 7" TFT touchscreen
DVD Reader w/ USB cable.
Presentation remote for mouse control (just in case)
Power and ACC wire harness pre fused and with battery ring terminal.
installation manual

MCS CarPC
* Windows7 Home Premium Installed
* 802.11a/b/g/Draft-N wireless network adapter with external antenna
* 1.6GHz Dual Core Atom 330 CPU
* aluminum Mini ITX chassis w 6 USB ports, Reset switch, audio connections, ethernet, printer, VGA, mouse and key board
* M2-ATX automotive grade power supply w/ automatic start up and shutdown with adjustable timing (currently set to 15 second shut off time)
* 160GB 2.5" Toshiba 5400rpm SATA hard drive
* Intel D945GCLF2 motherboard
* 2Gb DDR2 RAM
* Creative Soundblaster xFi 5.1 external USB soundcard
* Centrafuse 3.5 Installed
* vibration and shock resistant hard drive mounting system
* Regulated 12v output for LCD monitor power
* 7 pin S-video output
* VGA video output for high resolution monitors
* RCA audio outputs

Everything is working fine except I'm getting an error message that says “xTouchMon has stopped working”. This is referring to the touchscreen software, but the touchscreen is working correctly, so you just have to close the annoying pop-up message.

$350 for the whole carputer, monitor and all?
Don't those things run over $1000 bucks?

Yup, save a bunch of money by getting a slightly used system! Still for sale.

Still available?

Does it serve as system/radio too, or do I have to buy something separate, like a head-unit etc. ?
Also for DVDs, is that a separate item?
Ideally, I'd like to be able to install it, and be done; then drive-off listening to Pandora.

Resurrecting an old thread because this is for sale again. I have moved from Dallas to Chicago and don't have a car anymore so I have no use for this. Make me an offer!

you will need to wire the audio somehow, either tapping into the factory system or using an aftermarket headunit. It does not have Navigation, but it can easily be added. You would need to buy a USB GPS dongle and maps software, all of which should be fairly cheap.

How much would shipping to 49348 be? I've been looking into getting a setup like this but with navi, so I can tune on the fly and see everything in real time.
