[Jonas_R]

A friend of mine has found a supplier for din size PC's that will fit direct into the radio slot (double din also available)
12V
1ghz processor, choice of 256 or 512mb ram, 20, 30, 40, 60 or 80GB hard drive, slot loading cd or slot loading dvd-cd/rw
Front Access:
2 USB (V2.0), 1 Firewire and 2 Audio ports in & out

Just need to put a touchscreen screen in your car which cost around 150 and away ya go!!

Yup that is the same computer case i use. You can get it pretty cheap from www.cartft.com (german site). The computer case uses a via mpia mini itx board, then u have to get slim line ddr ram and a slim line DVD drive...
the casings is made by Casetronic and is called Travla C134. And it has been on the market for a while.

Another interesting link www.mini-box.com they also sell a 12 V drop out regulator, which is very usefull and has a 8 amp fuse.

www.mini-itx.com has everything that you need and they have the travle C134 case. You have to buy motherboard (cpu included), ram, HD, Cd drive seperat. But they should have it all on www.mini-itx.com

Jonas, from what you have put i assume u have mounted your MoBo behind the panel above the glove box correct?

Do you have any heat issues back there due to the heating vents etc running round there?

Ive not totally decided where to mount mine yet

Well Niels,

I'll come by when that nice girlfriends of yours makes some nice leather doorsides for me?

If you want i can help you mount in car pc, no problem. But i think i leave you up to fitting the 7" screen. Cuz that to forever of sanding and then put some more "plastic padding" (not sure about the spelling) on to make the screen look stock.
However iam going to remove the carbon look and paint the hole console minus the heater valves in some kinda plastic black color.

Right now me and Kenneth are making the final touch on my new doorsides, so i can have 2x 6½" speaker in each door.

more pictures to come.

SKI:

Thanks alot, took me quite some time in the garage, but i quite like the result.

Is there anyone who supplies these in th UK??

you can find this case along with all parts needed at: www.itx-warehouse.co.uk Thay even sell complete systems that are quite reasonably priced.

Oh and Jonas_r that looks very neat and tidy indeed

[S2 Ant]

there are loads of places in the uk

to name but 2, there are others but these are the 2 i have been using

How would the pre-out wiring work with this configuration with the head-unit still in place and with amps?

Forgot to mention i saw your work in progress S2Ant when i moved your S2 sunday.

[S2 Ant]

Sound card im using has 6 channel outs, 3.5mm jack split in to phono leads and that will feed the amp fine for sound and software on the PC can be used to refine frequency and balance etc.

Im interested to know what the voltage of the outputs are tho as i cant find any info on this one, so how it will actually sound will be a mystery until its fitted

No headunit will be used tho. I have a WinTV USB thing for Radio and TV.

Jonas whats happened to your pics???

[Jonas_R]

Jamo: I guess perhaps they were deleted from the server by me. I did a clean up a while back If you want I can relink the pictures?
