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.

I have to agree with blu94gt. You shouldnt need that many fans. A question for you, what exactly do you want the pc to do?
As an example, i have no head unit in my celi, so i have the pc for GPS navigation and MP3's, and eventually when radio hardware that i am happy with has been developed, it will have radio(god i miss radio!!!). There is no optical drive and i am using a low power laptop harddrive. I have the screen molded into the dash and the pc in the boot, right beside the amp. i have no fans except the CPU fan and thus far have not had a problem. I only need to install a small fan in the dash behind the screen. The use that it is getting is not enough to require extra cooling. Now, if you were to be doing 3D modelling or gaming with a high end video card....... |
