Its already going towards other wedding related items...

I hate you with a fiery passion... This is an awesome deal. Anyone wanna buy it for me (wedding present, wedding's this weekend btw )? She'd kill me if I bought it for me... lol

But its a Mac... lol We have Dells in our office and out of the 20 high performance XPS's we bought, 15 of them had failed raid configurations within 2 years directly relating to Maxtor. But everyone has different experiences as well, I've been running 5 Seagate HD's in my computers at home for years, 1 is on my server that is on 24/7 and been that way for 5 years now running strong, the other ones run 24/7 as well, but not as old as the server drives yet.

Strange... I've had bad problems with Maxtor, but wonderful experiences with Seagate... And the Seagates are the only ones that have a 5 year warranty as opposed to the 3 years through the other manufactures.

I think its a common problem with LGT's The "fix" that I have found is to put the seat all the way down, front and back, for about a week and then you can put it back however you normally use it and it will stay away for a little while. It always comes back, but it helps to have a break from it sometimes.

I can answer a few of these pretty easily from my opinion and experience. -Moisture, I havent had any problems with it, no rusting, no problems at all... And I've seen many cars that have had water coming out of the mufflers before, and they dont have haugzaust... No problems thus far. - Gasses into the muffler, yes... just depends on how many washers you put on there. If you have 15 like the poster a little bit ago, I kinda doubt the mufflers are even useful at that point, but with 2 or 3 washers, it still passes gas into the muffler and it works out pretty well. - 2 or 3 washers for me... I have 2 on right now and people comment on my awesome exhaust all the time. Its not too loud as to be annoying when your rolling down the highway and still loud enough to get a really nice rumble.

only if you want a hard drive that wont last. never had good luck with maxtor. but seagates, now they are rockin, especially with their 5 year warranty.

WD-40 also works really well

So does having a garage, but it being turned into a storage shed count? lol

That looks to be more of a smoothwall PC solution rather than for a carputer. The actual PC itself is way too slow, only 256MB ram sucks, and the fact that it has 2 lan adapters... That EEe PC or whatever is a perfect solution though and I may someday upgrade to that... But for now i'll have to roll with my M10000.

YES!!! I want! How much are you looking at for the cost? You rock! How soon can we get this?

I'm looking to make a new skin for RR cause the standard one has a few things that I dont need/want (TV, Radio, Sat Radio, Rip). What do you think of the look so far? I'm by no means a graphics artist, just playing around for now. Anyone have suggestions on good clean looking skins for RR that are already made? These are the things I'm looking to really have on there, nothing more for now.

I've been very interested in the data center part of it all... While I hate the thought of loosing the data center with temp and gas milage, etc... I'm also debating on the route of trying to figure out all the data that is sent to the data center and somehow trying to feed it into the carputer... Not exactly sure how yet though. I am a computer programmer though, and I have some friends that might be willing to help, so I hope maybe that will help a bit. lol The last option is to just move the info center down to the ash tray, but I'd need the relocation bracket which I dont have yet... lol Guess I'll see what I can work out :S erp... But I've been following the carputer stuff for a while and I have some ideas on how to check things out, just never had the ability/opportunity thus far.

Thats cool... I'm really excited to get a carputer in... I've been wanting to get one for ages now, but just never found a decent deal that I could buy at the time. So this is pretty sweet. Now I guess its a matter of finding the bezel to modify (kinda wanna keep my stocker just in case). I'm wanting to get GPS, sirius/xm/hd radio, OBDII, etc eventually... But for now getting just the basics is great.

I've looked at the price of the screen alone and it goes for 299, so I'm thinking that this is a great deal... And I might be able to cut some off the price cause it looks like this guy is within driving distance... Hrmm indeed... I'm probably picking it up asap... lol, even though I know I should hold off though cause gas is getting pricy, but hey... A killer deal is a killer deal right?

Quick question... If I can buy this setup: Case: Morex 3688 Motherboard: VIA EPIA M1000 Mini ITX Form Factor Ram: 512 MB Hard Drive: 80 GB CD-RW/DVD-ROM: Panasonic Slot Load Power Supply: MIATX Car Power Supply Operating System: Windows XP Home with CD Monitor: Lilliput 629GL-70NP/C/T For $350 shipped... Think thats a good deal? I'm pretty sure I'm sold on it already... I havent seen a full setup like that for such a good price... But just making sure that ya'll think its a fair price before I plunge... Thanks

^^ Excellent I just signed up... Not sure if they'll actually send it out though, it didnt give me a confirmation email or anything, they just said thank you... hrmm... Guess we shall see

Not to get in your business and all salvi, just tryin to look out for you... But if your going to sell a lot of parts and such, have you talked with the mods about becoming a vendor on here? Just a thought. I would actually encourage that for you honestly, the carputer community on here could definately use someone who is closely tied in with carputer things on here, not just on MP3car.com Other than that, I'm still keeping a close watch on this thread for when I finally do get the funds to build my carputer. It still looks like my best option

How much you want for a screen and the PS? Probably out of my price range, but it doesnt hurt to ask lol

Any idea's on what your gonna ask for your car PC setup when you sell it? I might be interested.

You are fail X 2 ^^^^ 1021 on 1024 and 1024 on 1025 Very dissapointing. lol Back on topic and count... http://www.astrosurf.com/luxorion/Radio/mfj1026.jpg

FYI, wait about a month or so and the gasket will come loose and make a hissing sound like a reed or something. Then they come off really easy.

You are t3h suxxor JK
