exploding_penguin exploding_penguin Forum Addict Registered: 11th Nov 2003 Posts: 1717 Loc: sitting at a desk	long time no post but thought i would mention this. just in the process of making the shonda a bit better ive seen a few people do this before and i quite like the idea in the proces of collecting all the parts so far ive got.... Via Epia 1500 mini itx motherboard M2-atx 12v power supply lin itx 7" vga touch screen the plan is to mount the screen on the center consoule where the digi clock is on the accord, then add a cd/dvd drive to the pc so i can watch dvd's/store cd to hard drive etc the limits are pretty endless as its a pc, seen ppl with system that have wifi, custom car pc software, digi tv, DAB radio all i need to have it running is a hard drive some RAM and a case Opinions?? _________________________

BMW Joe BMW Joe Hardcore Shrimp Joy Wiki Guardian Registered: 30th Apr 2006 Posts: 9532 Loc: Birkenhead	yeah, it would be better where the heater controls are, but should be a good job. What you doing in terms of storage? a hardrive or solid state memory for shock resistance? where you going to have the motherboard/case? in the boot? Should be a good mod, keep us informed of the progress _________________________

MattLFC MattLFC Wiki Master Registered: 14th Aug 2004 Posts: 16427 Loc: Moreton/E.Port/Mobile	Make sure you get some very good cushioning and shock absorbtion for the hard drive if using a laptop hard drive, as they are extremely compact designs, everything is crammed into them and the slightest shock can damage them, a bad shock can be fatal. Depending on your budget, 8-32GB solid state drives are beginning to hit the market now, i think the 16 and 32's are rather steep (last time I check the 32GB ones were like £270incl VAT) but the 8GB are quite affordable although hard to find a suitable one that can run a bootable DOS as standard. Extra storage can easily be added using USB drives, so if your budget stretches to solid state drives, dont worry too much about them being considered "low capacity" hehe. Good luck though fella! _________________________ My MySpace \| My Bebo \| My Personal Blog \| Rhea's Boobs \| My Photography Website \| R.I.P Corky

BMW Joe BMW Joe Hardcore Shrimp Joy Wiki Guardian Registered: 30th Apr 2006 Posts: 9532 Loc: Birkenhead	You can get Solid State IDE cards which act as hard drives, not sure on the cost or size available though, might be worth checking eBay. I think its a good project to give a go and it shouldn't be too expensive to do. _________________________

exploding_penguin exploding_penguin Forum Addict Registered: 11th Nov 2003 Posts: 1717 Loc: sitting at a desk	its main use is goin to be as mp3 player hense y im looking at 100GB plus HDD, im doin it because i want to have all my music in 1 system, for those of u who know i'm still using mini discs! im reluctant to got portable mp3/ipod or mp3cd coz i dont like them so this is the logical step for me plus the dvd and sat nav options are relitivly easy to incorparate into this system and if ever i wanted wifi or MS elcel then the option is there, even running pc games is possible. yes it aint gonna be cheep, (400£ mark) but when u weigh up what the sony hard drive head unit would cost? _________________________
