Hotness. I want a setup like that in my car. I would set up the startup/boot to have the car talk to me with stuff like "Good Morning" or whatever

What battery are you running?

LOOKS GREAT!! oh man after seeing your carpc im reminded of how badly I wanted one it looks awesome. how do you like the "centrafuse" interface? I work for Mini-box and we recently built a demo for Intel similar to your setup but with the voom2 also w/ centrafuse interface. unfortunately the time we had to play with the demo was limited im also considering the roadrunner interface. thanks

I bought some of my stuff from you guys
I almost stopped by since you guys are close to frys, and I go to frys to buy stuff all the time.

Centrafuse is awesome. and they have version 3.0 coming out soon too.

Road Runner is also very popular.

the case fan in my voomPC that i bought from mini-box is kinda loud though, i'll have to replace it. and in CA hot summers, it might need a bit more cooling. so i'm going to stop by frys maybe later today to see what I can do

I might actually drill a 80mm hole in the top of the case where that big flat spot is and put a normal PC sized case fan there

we do have quieter replacement fans available for just this type of issue while its not too common we do have them in case. btw no charge for the replacement fan if you decide you want one from us just give us a call.
