[QUOTE="LoneRanger, post: 115183, member: 540903"] [B]"Where are you going to put your monitor and keyboard?"[/B] Monitor will be mounted in the driver's side sun visor. The keyboard will go in a cubby hole under the "computer box" with the mouse. Also, you can power the monitor off the car's electrical system if you use a standard DC powered LCD. [B]"How will having a pc in your car help you in any way?"[/B] I dunno.....how does having a subwoofer in your car "help" you in any way? I don't know anybody else who has a computer in their car, and I kinda thought it would be cool to be the first [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [B]"If you do make sure you have one incredably awesome sound card."[/B] I have a shitty sound card....can anyone recommend a good one?

[B]"I assume you probably need a 300 watt inverter to power your computer, depending on your computer." [/B] I have a 300w Radio Shack inverter. It's supposed to only draw 20a off the battery at max power. [B]... not a bad idea, but I reccomend just making a router or secondary pc out of those parts[/B] Thought about that.........but the 350mhz is too slow to do anything i want to do at home.....but would be very nice to run a mobile Linux based system that serves only to play movies, music videos, MP3's and cool screen savers.
