VPKB I didnt mean to use the case.. sorry if I was misleading.. It would be guts only and since the pieces are indevidual you can move them around into alot of places. maybe fab a small chasis for the MB with possible braketry for HDs, and so on..

 

How much is that though? :?

 

depends on what you want to do. it would most likely be fiberglassed and you can design to how you want. the work would be about 600-1000.

 

Yeah,

I have one I installed and currently upgrading...

DVD, MP3, voice GPS, ODB2 engine Diags, XMPCR radio, 7" touch Screen, 10.4" touch screen, 17" panel should be done by the next show, Gyration RF mouse and keyboard, Custom desktop X interface, WIFI, XBOX fed through ATI all in wonder card, external USB 60GB drives with movies and MP3 files, AV inputs, Rear camera mod, video capturing. I am sure I am leaving something out...

I like the setup, and all its USB devices check out the following link for some of the install.

Worst part of the MOD is all the cables and connections. Best part of MOD WIFI...

L8r,

TOY XBOX

 

Do you go to the Cerritos meets? I want to chat and see that in person. I know hahajoey would like to see that too.

 

Yeah,

Not sure if I will have it put back together by Sunday... working on center flip down replacing composite setup with VGA touchscreen and still working on cargo area mount for the 17" flat screen. If I don't bring the TOY XBOX, I will be in a Sublime Green Toyota prerunner looking truck...

C'ya there L8r,

Dave

 

I just found a dope little P4 system for cheap...I'll tell you about it at the meet... Fits nicely under the passanger seat...

 

Cool...

I have a Dell GX260 P4 Small Form Factor box I am working on but I really didn’t want to run an inverter all the time. I was going to compare it to the system I am running now, to see if it is really worth all the fuss changing it over...

L8r,

 

Is there a power supply that can run off our car's 12volts that you know off. I'm not too hot on using an inverter either even though I already have one.

 

This is the case that came with my system from Truman Mobile

This is a link to where I got my system... I researched all the parts I was going to use and Truman Mobile builds a system with all the components I wanted. I could have built it myself but for the cost it was just as easy to have Truman Mobile build it. Major thank's to Tj from Truman Mobile he hooked me up with the desktop X interface and configuration for the RF remote.

I have yet to scrape the cash together to setup a computer in-car. However, as an atlernative to a shuttle box, i found this single-din-sized PC

http://mobilevideo4less.com/mobile-pc.html

Personally i would never buy from a [dot]com called Mobile Video 4 less... just sounds untrust-worthy. However the PC they are using can be found at

http://www.cappuccinopc.com

Nicely enough you can customize at this site, plus they sell the Xenarc 7" touch screen displays, too

 

I like hahajoeys idea of just using a wireless laptop if you need a pc in the XB (for obvious cost reasons). Or maybe even a PDA with wireless capability. Plus, you run less of a risk of it getting ripped off!

 

It is not the hardest task to put a pc in your car. But I am curious what you all intend to use it for?

 

just wanna bump this up

im working on gitting info on putting one in when i get my xb ive been looking at a lot of pice that some of you posted why not put it behind the plastic panels and lengthen the cable or ir the keyboard and mouse instead of the box under the seats or the cube in the back it will be hiden behind the panels im gonna do a full write up on this when i get rollin in the xb
