Default My Car PC Project *pics*

Sup guys I just wanted to show my little project, and I'll be glad to help anyone who needs help doing this in the future

Big thanks goes out to leemik who he originally had this similar setup!

I decided some time ago that I wanted to build a PC for the car, well some of you might wondering WTF you need a pc in your car for?

Navigation / Videos / Internet and there's plenty of more that a computer can do.

Anyway Im finally almost done after some labor for a couple of days here are some pics


First cubby I tried cutting to make a case out of it and I just cut too a little too much


Second cubby I cut it right and left a little square on top to mount the Hard Drive


Another pic of the computer case


Pic of the power supply

Hard Drive Installed


Another pic of the hard drive


installing windows


Close up of computer case


More pics of the case


Pics of PC about to be put on


another pic


Computer working

Other things I added are: the pioneer head unit and boston speakers.

Things missing: Iguidance for Navigation / GPS Antenna / Install software on the computer (mediacar)

when it's finished screen should look like this:

8) (thanks for the skin leemik / Mike Lee)
