lmfao ... wat a nerd
Been out for years; have been contemplating it for a while now myself.
Easier to hook up cameras for direct web streaming.
Considering SIM i/o operation of the computer; incase it is stolen.
Dedicated powersource will mean it can start up and stream the cameras at any time.
Fully sick, yo! ;) LOL
yeh been looking at doing one myself but will cost too much like round abouts 1500 all up diy... not cheap...
Obviously depending on components!
You can do it for $500 + an old p3 computer...
LOL; Am using a pII 333 / 8gb HDD with 256 RAM. Pick it up for $100 or so.
Screen perhaps $150
+ Inverter
+ Eletrical Bits and pieces
+ RCA Audio Card if wanna hook it up to an Input on your HEADUNIT!!! :)
Under $300 FTW!!!
Full USB Compatability = Unlimted Possibilities!
started getting parts for mine the other week :)

how much did u pay for the screen and inverter?
why are you getting a dc-ac inverter rather than a dc-dc adaptor? What about automatic SUSD controllers? Or are you going to turn it on and off?
Lilliput from hong kong = $280
or Jaycar touchscreen = $320 same as lilly....
Jaycar dc-dc = $100
SUSD controller $30
miniatx + p4 + ram = $150
everything for $600...
if you got an old comp lying around, its even less...just need to spend money on bondo for fabrication and some wiring...
$100 for full gps system.
$5 to integrate carpc into sound system
too easy.
1st, yeah i no could of gone the DC-DC way, but start out the easy way, with the invertor, and i will no doubt find a use for the invertor for other things as well.Quote:
