damn! great job!

With summer in-car temps that can reach close to 200 degrees, any major component can fry (i.e. ram, sysboard, or HD) so you may want to make them easily removable...
Good point Steve91LS I will think through this.
it would require work to pull the TFT but all of the original wiring is still behind the cross overs in a plug and play mode so to say. It would require running RCA Y cables to the amp but that's a quick fix but unfortunately without a JDM console there is really no room to run a dual setup. I had considered doing a flip-up or swivel type setup where I can flip up the panel to run a stereo behind the TFT
Shaar thanks for the advice on the CF card haven’t looked into that yet but I will put it on my list of considerations.
Lou and Nismo(or anyone else) If you’re really interested in the detail of how it was done you are more than welcome to PM me though it was a pretty basic setup and still somewhat in raw form wanted to ensure it worked before putting money into it. Not really involved enough for a DIY but if I get some spare time unless someone beats me to it.
PS if anyone does run this setup I recommend Winamp as the media player and a video card that will allow you to override the 640x400 display setting minimum so you can see it (maybe I will do a DIY, Let me work through the bugs first)
Noudles Thanks
Oh and if I am correct the Tablet PC is by rough definition a quickboot operating system that is a in between of the Microsoft Pocket PC format and a Laptop format
( can any coder tell me how to get a pocket PC format on a standard PC setup?) Sorry Mods this was more of a computer question.

Hey telion sorry man i haven't had time to look for that button but i'll look tomorrow, and i'll let ya know alright. Well take care man

Ken · 03-31-06, 03:25 AM

I wanna know where you got that audio plug thing you put right behind the screen. thanx!

Telion · 04-01-06, 03:19 AM

Ken It was a part of the TFT enclosure (all custom) and I took the screen out of the housing cut enough of the housing off to get the part that you see in the pic to fit. I tried to do a search for a pic but no luck I will see if I can find the box tomorrow.

Nismo no worries not in any hurry

GreekPower · 04-01-06, 04:43 AM

telion- wats the resolution/pixels for that screen?

Telion · 04-01-06, 06:35 PM

Let me find the box I think Ken wants a pic anyway I will find out

931stlegend · 04-01-06, 07:44 PM

if you knew nothing about wiring and installing how much would it cost (an estimate) to get the comp built and installed? would it be better to have some1 build it for you if that is possible or to buy it and how much time (hours) would you think it would take a shop to install? holla back that is fire i want one i luv music and my cd's get on my nerves and don't feel like spendin money to get more than 1 ipod holla back

Telion · 04-01-06, 08:25 PM

Lou I couldn't find the specs on my screen but I am quite pleased considering the price though I do need to isolate and eliminate some interference (Unoticable till you get close)

The difficulty of building the PC is small piece of cake, could walk you through that in IM or over the phone, you would just need to know what you need if you're starting from scratch it would also depend on where you got it some states or cities have local retailers that will sale used computers or you could buy each piece at like comp usa here is a quick list of what you would need
I would recommend an installer for the screen to get a clean look without my forcasted issues but I would do most of the wire running and pc builing myself look at newegg.com or comp usa and PM me technically you should be able to do it for under 300.00 from scratch.(minus labor)

Ken this is what I started with

Telion · 04-01-06, 10:29 PM

MMMmmm frys they don't have those out here yet, one pretty cheap local shop though EBC (all computers nothing like frys)

Telion · 04-01-06, 10:30 PM

SSilk12001 are your valve cover painted because they almost look like they were dipped in somthing thicker han paint?

mrkeith · 04-01-06, 10:42 PM

These carputer installs look great.
It's a shame that everyone uses Windows.

Telion · 04-01-06, 10:53 PM

Thanks Man. . . I agree about the winows deal but there aren't too many otions without gaining knowledge of a while other operaating sys like Freedbs, Linux Unix Gnome, trust me last night I almost setup a linux sys. Any ideas on how I can fill in these gaps? thought about fiberglass acrylic and plastic even felt?????
