That looks absolutely fantastic.

Cheers mate . I took the photos before cleaning it so the photos dont really give it justice. oh yeah and I didnt take photos once the gear surround went on.. the USB port on the surround looks kool.

ha hey ive done this in my legnum - ur gonna find the touch screen a little high, since ur hand rests on the gearstick. But I think its unavoidable. Like someone said - u need buttons ideally.

I mounted mine in the rear corner (wagon) right next to the amp in what used to be the mmcs box.

Check out the carPC guys using programmable force feedback rotary encoders - basically the ultimate solution, i think bmw or mercedes have them.

The touch screen isnt too bad if your running a software with big buttons, which im in the process of doing. but yeah in the ideal world you want controls where your hands rest.. I was thinking more along the lines of a PC RF remote control, as its RF I can control it from anywhere in and around the car > like this <

I saw someone using this one in their setup, good if you wanted something with a few more controls, although could be a few too many while driving.

Yeah I think thats a bit too many controls. With small simple remote I can mount it some where near where the hand would rest..

I already have one of those ATi Remote Wonders and they are rather large. I love the whole ICPC idea and have always wanted to build one. I have an old Ideq(onboard NVIDIA graphics and Socket A) here that I plan on doing something with but I need to make sure I get the right PSU for it.

If your thinking about it I must say its quite a easy job but very very time consuming, but having said that the result at the end will be awesome. As for the PSU I used a M2-ATX, a power supply made for in car pc's. Theres also a M1-ATX but the M2 was a bigger and better model. I used www.mp3car.com for ideas and reviews. In the UK theres only a few places other than ebay to get any parts from, I used linitx.com and thers also itx-warehouse.co.uk.

Let me know if you do plan on starting on a icpc project.

I sorry we had to leave before I go a real chance to see it although I did see the PCB through the window.

I'm definitely looking at doing one and have been following your work in anticipation. Wil chat offline about my ideas if you're Ok with that, do you have MSN?

Thanks mate glad you liked it. Looks a lot better now that I installed the touchscreen, got rid of that old mouse and closed the glove box!
