Anyone who is looking to install a PC into their car should be interested in this topic.
The advantages of having a PC in your modified car are infinite. MP3's, DVD's, Game emulation (SNES, MAME, PS), engine management, you name it. I am currently installing a PC into a Prelude with touchscreen and custom enclosure in the rear seat. If anyone would like to get a price quote on an install or more information, please feel free to e-mail me at deathbyc4@hotmail.com or leave a post. Thanks!

Right now it's about 50% done, the PC came in last week and getting it set up. The case (custom made to fit between the back seats) it done. The touchscreen is ready to get installed. Waiting on the power supply and building a PC controlled relay system for lights and such. When it's done i'll give yall a link when i build the site for the owner of the car. This project was originally a school project at Sparanturg Tech. for electronics class. The owner and I installed a simple PC system for the car and we decided to improve on it. When more info arrises, I'll post it. Later.

approx. 60-65% done. the programming for the software is done( for control of music, video, and the relays for controlling external stuff aka neons,etc.). when it's done it will look something like this (no this is not the prelude that is getting the pc, or a prelude at all for that matter)Car PC (http://darkreflection.net/images/carpc.jpg)
