Title: Car Puter (PC?) Post by: FieroBUZZ on May 13, 2004, 06:30:27 pm Any of you guys working on one?
While looking at fiberglass tutorials, I found some wacko's busily making there cars into computer rooms. GPS, MP3, DVD's and games. These guys have way too much time and money on their hands. Found a nice in-car player program. I assume for touch screen use. Title: Re: Car Puter (PC?)

Where I come from, you watch videos & play video games at home. When you're behind the wheel, you should be focused on your driving, not on Britney Spears' latest mostly-invisible outfit on that screen beside you. ::) :o Title: Re: Car Puter (PC?)

Title: Re: Car Puter (PC?) Post by: JetJumper on May 25, 2004, 08:43:48 pm don't use an expensive laptop for this method.. its not worth an expensive one.. the one I have is like.. a 486 piece of junk that will work perfectly :)
Title: Re: Car Puter (PC?) Post by: FieroBUZZ on May 26, 2004, 06:24:11 am These guys just seem to use regular stuff in a cut down case. They do seem to be more computer nerdy (no offence to our nerds) than car savvy.
One guy wanted to cut big holes in his car to let cooling air in. When pointed out that water, dirt and other crap would also arrive he seemed pretty surprised. ;D http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/ |
