Questions about IncarPC
Muhahhaa I give you Franken-PC!!1
A half size ATX motherboard with desktop components all packed up in MDF wood.
AMD Athlon? 1.2ghz
512mb ram
40gb hdd
ati all in wonder 128
windows 2000 pro
The standby button was hooked to a relay that closed when the ignition was turned off and then tripped momentary power to close the power switch to turn it back on.
Super power whore. 7amp draw at idle and 12amps under ANY load. The sound card was a soundblaster pci 5 channel hooked to an ADS 4 channel for the mids and a Polk 300.2 for the subwoofer... which cause a whole bunch more problems being in such close proximity to the computer.
I ran a USB hub in the front with the keyboard and a mouse, I was planning on getting a touchpad but I scrapped the project before I bought it.
Keep i mind this was a few years back(like 2004) and I've learned a lot since then.

i have a CarPC that im not using anymore and thinking about parting out.
OPUS 150w that runs/works great
Liliput 7" touchscreen that works great
and one of the typical usb gps receivers that worked fine the last i used it
had the stuff for like a year and a half but only used it for maybe like 6 months. i always ran the touchscreen off the OPUS's regulated DC-DC power instead of off the shitty cig lighter port which burns out screens. let me know if you're interested in either of them
