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 ![Smilie](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
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![Smilie](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
