Any other VW owners using/installing Car PCs?
« on: 15 October 2006, 10:12 »
I'm a keen Car PCer and I'm currently installing a PC into my VW Golf MK3 1.8 GL 1993 :smiley:. I orginally had a prototype PC in my Ford Focus MP3 2003 until I was demoted to a second car after moving house (which, by the way, is now my pride and joy:cool:). I have sourced many PC parts for a better, more effecient PC install. :wink:

Any other VW owners using/installing Car PCs?

My Car PC spec is VIA EPIA 800, 512MB SDRAM, Xenarc 700TSV, P1280 (for Front), M1-ATX (for Mobo), Radeon PCI 64MB, Soundblaster Mp3+, BU353, 30Gb 2.5" Seagate, Slimline DVD ROM. At least, it will be once installed.

It would be good to hear from other VW Car PCers to discuss installs.

Cheers,
Dave

Seen alot of people putting MAC minis into there cars. As its such a small unit with decent specs, its ideal to have in the car.

Any pictures of your PC setup? Where are you putting the box? How big is it? How have you gone about connecting everything up?
