I have a similar setup. GPS,OBDII, Wireless network G--yes I have internet most of the time. its AUSTIN...one big wireless Access Point.
Issues I have Exp in 1 1/2 year installed.
1.2 ghz Epia With Similar case under the seat. It gets Hot--not enough to kill the pc --yet.
Screens Xenarc only way to go Touch screen is Awesome
if you sell the pc make sure you include a "not responsible clause" if they crash the car while using your pc... Well you Know....
Software—media Car--Free try it out its ok but could use some work.
Gota run will add More info
Good Luck

I have a custom built pc (built by me) and a xenarc top of the line 7.5" lcd touchscreen and i also have every feature listed above as well as mobile internet and wireless network capabilities. Also I have two free usb connections available for quick plugin of flash drives and digital cameras on the go. And the computer was set up to be used with a reverse camera but i decided it was a waste of money.

This thing looks great. I'm not up on all of the details, so here are a few questions...
1. If the system has FM controls thru the screen, then why is there an Alpine radio right under it? Does it need the head unit to function?
2. I have the factory nav, which I like..... Can the system be installed in the stock double-din head unit location, and leave the existing factory nav?
3. How long does it take for this system to boot up?
Thanks

I think aseraj stated it pretty clearly, if you want to build it yourself, go for it, if you don't want to or dont have the time to figure it out, this is what he has assembled as a package. Looking at the parts and whatnot, it seems fair and I wish him luck because supporting end users is a pain in the @...
I just went though version 2 of my CarPC project and while all the information you need is out there (try MP3car.com, but make sure you search, search, search and then do it again before you ask a quesiton) but finding it is anoying if you don't know the lingo or where to start. Also, if you decide to do it yoruself, get a plan together so you get the right components the first time as some things work better toghether than other things.
By the way, if you are looking for a decent screen that wont break the bank and is bright enough to see in the day time, the DynamixComputers.com Dynamix ultrabright 7" fits with no modifications to it or the 03 nav compartment.
