Carputer Project Finally Done [PICS]
Car: 1993 Lexus ES300 5 speed
Carputer:
-Lilliput 7" EBY-701 LCD
-DFI G5M-100 Motherboard
-Pentium M 1.5ghz processor
-Kingston HyperX 512mb DDR Ram
-80gb Maxtor HDD 3.5" 7200rpm
-Panasonic CW-8124B external DVD/CDR combo Drive (not installed yet)
-Qstarz BT-Q818 Bluetooth GPS
-M2-ATX Power Supply
-Cyberpower 4 port battery powered USB hub
-Dreamgear PS2 Mini-keyboard
-Generic bluetooth receiver
-Engenius EUB-362 EXT Wifi USB Adapter
-7dbi magnetic wifi antenna
-Griffin Powermate
Audio:
4 channel Crunch amp with JBL speakers all around (nice setup but with the carputer it sounds like **** right now, gotta tune it)
Software:
TinyXP Rev. 06
Roadrunner
Skin: Digital FX 2.1

This is my setup so far. Still got lots of tuning and things to add. It took me about a month to do and cost me about $1000 so far.
Please excuse the dirty interior, i'm gonna have to get it shampooed when i have time.
Any questions feel free to ask.

First where did you get that (double-din?) stereo kit for the liliput? Second, how many watts is that powersupply and what brand and model is it? And does it include a start/shutdown controller?

I have four pieces of Velcro holding the case to the carpet. It really aint going nowhere. So far i havent had a skip or anything from potholes and jolts even though my car rides pretty rough on 45 series tires in nyc.

There's alot of glare in the daytime with the sunlight but that's to be expected with every non-transflective screen. Right now even if u have money, you still cant get a transflective due to the high demand. Viewing angle is perfect from the driver's seat although i prefer the screen to sit higher when its in GPS mode so i dont have to look down as much.

it's made for aftermarket radio but i just dremmeled it out and custom fitted the LCD screen in there. I used this adhesive call Automotive Goop to attach it. At first i wanted to mold it but decided against it cuz if not done right it looks disgusting.
i have a M2 ATX 160 watts power supply and yes it has a startup/shutdown controller. There's alot of people having problems with this power supply on MP3CAR but it's working just fine for me.
