Re: Birks to the future. WHAT THE! - Rich H - 22 Jun 2009

Would love to see this carputer in action Smile


Re: Birks to the future. WHAT THE! - Birksie - 22 Jun 2009

Ok fella. I'll try and do that.
The screen and everything is still in place, ive just take the computer out at the moment, as Im custom designing the PC so it will fit in the storage hole behind the seat, with easy access and plenty of cooling. Proving a little harder than I thought. Ive already made 2 prototypes only to find they dont fit because of the angle the whole thing sits at. Im just making the 3rd prototype now. Should have it done tomorrow. Hope this one works!

Here's a few pics of the first prototype.
