Are you selling it as a whole system? or can you part it out? If so, I am interested in the lcd screen. Thanks

[JC]

I want to sell it as one system.

Screen... $400 (Comes with everything, new in box)

Oooh, it looks to be one of the nice screens from the price of it. My set up is complete, just debating on either using a 7.2 touchscreen, or a cheapie 5 in I got for free. What brand is the screen btw?

The screen is buy Newision which are a big manufacturer of LCD screens in Europe (I actually ordered this screen from a British company).

Believe me, you will notice a difference between 7in and a 5in LCD.

Yeah, I know its a big difference. My bro has the 7in screen. He paid like almost $500! though. I got a 5in screen for free. Debating if I want to spend that extra dough. I am using windows media center OS, ordering my remote soon.

Ya, I made this system to see if people would buy more in the future. I build computers in my spare time, so I can make more and I know many venders that supply high quality parts. KIT

Few questions here: Wat kinda cases can you use on this? On top of that wat kinda of navi system do you install? Is it possible that this pc can be hooked up to the internet? I wouldnt know it can but Im not that pc savy when you have cars/computers together as a dash unit. I just wanna know how this computer work like using gauges and all that stuff, thats all, btw can have something like wireless keyboard mouse capabilities? Thanks man!

You can use any computer case or even something like a small form factor case. I made one for it out of metal. The pc can be hooked up to the internet via WIFI or Bluetooth. You can display gages, but you need software and sensors or whatever. You can use wireless keyboard and mouse easily.



"A 7 inch touchscreen LCD
400 WATT power inverter
Extension cables (if you want to run the system from the trunk)
Super thin LCD remote AND Navi-remote (Used for many functions and as a mouse, but you can use the touchscreen or a wireless mouse instead or both or all)
And the brains: DB1 computer system
(Intel 1Ghz processor (under clocked for overheat protection), 320MB of RAM, 40GB Hard Drive, 250 Watt PSU, DVD/CD-RW drive, and a TV tuner/Radio card."

The processor is a Pentium Celeron. XP is legal version. I can install something else though.
