Car Computer Version II COMPLETED
Abstract - Version 1 of the computer worked great except it was mounted in a cramped location under the dash in the front passenger seat. Passengers would often be afraid to kick and nudge the computer. I decided to move the computer to the trunk. It eliminates a few extra cables and cleans up the mounting. I do loose some cooling features from the AC, but it was also noted in version 1 that it did not matter that much. Since then I have gained a lot of experience regarding mobile computing environments. Version 2 of the car computer will include many improvements over the original design. New AMD 1600+ XP Processor New MSI Motherboard w/ onboard RAID Move to ATX form factor for easy future upgrades New mounting for entire computer New cabling for LCD + peripherals OBDII ENGINE MONITORING Cameras for saftey AGP ELBOW Gas Tube onboard sound card Extra battery + capacitor to power the computer Griffin Tech's Blue button TIVO? PICTURES OF THINGS TO COME...
