Took a few pics for you mate! Quickly ran in and shoved the PC in it's place

It's placed all in the glove box. The sliver metal box is the PSU and well i guess you know what the computer is.

Just like to say Thanks to everyone who helped!!!, Wouldn't have completed this project without you lot!

Cheers

Nice, you should build a proper install for it in your glovebox!

Looks great though well done mate,

Looking good mate, loving the function where you can layer songs!

Not a fan of the music though

the demo looks fantastic - good work. total cost?

would love to have the time and inclination to fit one of these and replace all the sat nav etc. I'd have to make sure I wasn't going to sell the car in a few years tho!

@ david burton: Give or take around about Â£500 mate!, Got a bargin on the actual PC grabbed that for Â£270 with the PSU. If i bought the Pc from a main dealer would have cost me Â£560 alone!

I'm back again guys!, except to add on to the car PC. Possibly another quick project? Now what i had in mind was connecting a Car Sub-Woofer and Amp to the CarPC. Once again a whole load of research and I think it may be easier than I thought! Found this link. Clicky Excluding all the PSU that he has, I'd just be able to connect the Amp straight to the car's battery. Now the problem that I've stumbled across is this "monster cable" he's banging on about. Where would i need to connect this on the amp??

Cheers

It was a fairly long read and I got lazy

, what cable's this?

Haha!.Beats me mate, was so bloody confused with this guys tutorial! However found this wiring diagram on MP3car.com. Which was pretty usefull!

It's basically just like wiring a normal subwoofer Up. Except instead of wiring the Amp to the Headunit I just write the subwoofer to the Pc

All i need is the Phono to Dual Phono(RCA) adapter and then i'm of!

Think i may do it after Exams though

Cheers.
