Cinful - i believe asci01 will be writing a DIY[wont be the easy but can be done,alot of time]not sure though
when i get home i can get a part list together but then again this project is very customizable meaning that there are alot of different ways of setting up your carPC
the other thing is that you will have to replace your stock AMP with a one 5CH or use 2 AMPS , AMPs must have RCA inputs
talgrl - i dont think a GB is an option because there are so many parts[PC,audio,wires,etc...]that have to be ordered,I believe over at mp3car.com they had a GB on the TS monitor

This is what modding is all about! Modding at a completely different level than the majority of us who just bolt on after market parts!

Good work man. I have a friend who did something like this in a Corvette, the only issue that I could see is cooling? Do you have any fans in there, or just assuming there will be enough circulation?

The computer next to the Pioneer DSP humming along. The mouse is just as a backup since everything is touch screen. And in case you're wondering, no I don't have to leave the glove box open. It closes just fine.

I apologize for the blurry pics. I must be the worst photographer in the world or I have the worst digicam there is. The screen resolution is excellent. 800x600 which is better than a non-VGA LCDs

I have a quickie, How is the sound quality compared to say an Alpine IVA-D300? I'll either do this mod with everything, or spring for the IVA.
Or how bout this, Could you integrate a carputer with the Alpine touchscreen?
Say have the alpine unit, and as a imput have the carputer running it's gps or mp3's?

Since I haven't heard the Alpine I can't compare the sound quality, but what I can say is that I'm using the stock speakers (for now) and my amps are nothng fancy, yet the sound is terrific. Also, I love the Windows Media Player equalizer and specially the crossfading feature. It's sooooo sweet. I "crossfaded" a concert song with a study song. Unaware that I could do that, my wife asked: "since when Rod Steward and LeeAnn Rimes sang in the same concert"

Yes the PC sound line-output is connected to the DSP and then the equalized line-outputs from the DSP go to the amps. One amp drives the sub and the other the door speakers. You don't really need the DSP, I had it laying around so why not use it. It allows me to fine tune the sound.
