Xbox installation
Any information on installing an xbox and an lcd in a car. I searched a couple places and came up with nothing so anything you have, pictures, links, articles would help alot. Especially anything regarding cooling the xbox, and using a computer lcd in a car. Thanks.

video inputs for the lcd? vga? or what... i dont get it. why would you need to cool the xbox even more? dont know what your plans are...but open up the xbox, cut the black wire on the Fan and ground it out on one of the screws holding down the motherboard, the fan will run @ 100% which is significantly faster than factory... you will see the difference....but dont know if its even necessary on a regular xbox.

my xbox needs 100% all the time, I upgraded the fan just to get it to run cooler, once the cpu hits 87deg it slows to like 3/4 its max speed 
in your car, assuming its under the seat or in hte passenger cabin, you shouldnt need any more cooling than that since your AC is running etc. good rule of thumb is that is your comfortable in your car, your xbox will too.

I wasn't concerned about while I was in the car, I was more concerned about it being parked in sunlight throughout the day. Do you think it will damage it in any way, because the temperatures in a standing car in direct sunlight usually rise pretty high.

My PS2 sits under my seat with no probs all day every day.
