I haven't seen anyone put it in their car, but it's seriously so small you can put it anywhere.

Tom, that's an awesome setup you have.

I'm new here, but am on my second carputer system. It's not a Mac Mini, it's a P4-2.8 GHz custom build Wintel machine. If anyone wants to know more, I'll post a full explination of the system.

Here are a few pics

This has since been cleaned up a lot, I just need to take new pictures, but here is the PC

Tell me more, please.
I would like to know more. Could you just use a touch screen and PC to get all the benefits of the radio, DVD, etc. without having a headunit?
