I have a spare computer and i'm thinking about putting it into the celi, but I was wondering what kind of screen I should use and how much I can expect to pay for it. Also, what's the most efficient way of hooking up the power? Right now i'm thinking about something like this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1091100745000 but a better one. Please give me any suggestions, thanks.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Here's my idea for a computer in a celica.
I think it would look nice as sh!t and very doable to make a custom case out of plexi-glass that would fit into the hole behind the back seats. I'm talking about the hole you see when you fold the back seats forward, the hole to the trunk. I'm thinking about mounting about 8-12 fans in the case, 4-6 per side of the case. And to make it look cool, get the blue light fans. I want to keep the motherboard, cpu, hard drive (removable), power supply, etc. inside that case. and then keep the power inverter in the glove box. Then hook up a screen into the dash and either mount a laptop touch pad into where the change holder would be or take apart an optical trackball mouse and put it in the same spot. What do you guys think and what can you suggest to make sure everything functions correctly? Also, I would want to get a head unit with auxilary input so I dont have to use my computer all the time. For example, if i'm just driving to get a drink down the street, I dont want to boot up and shut down the computer, so I would just use the head unit instead. |
