I'm in the process of building up a custom center console. I had hoped to be a little farther along by now, but oh well.

A couple of pics (more at http://www.karas.net/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=album11)

And the 8.2" XGA touchscreen going in it:

Thanks Scott.

I've been wanting to do a "carputer" full time for a while. I've got the computer side of it already built. I took some pics of it, but they're kinda blurry:

Size of computer, compared to a standard CD-ROM drive:

Been trying to decide just what software to run on it. I'm thinking Media Engine on Windows is what it will end up being.

I like my kenwood, even though I had to send it out two times for repair. The clarion I had needed to be out 4 times.

Carputers are a bit much.....this is when I would Uber geek..installation of a 'puter in my ride

Thanks. It's coming along, I got some more work done on it this weekend. Hopefully I'll get it wrapped up soon.

I've also made patterns of all the complicated pieces as I've gone along, so when I'm done, if anyone wants a pattern of it, just let me know.
