Default Car computer

Yeah I need to get rid of my car computer that I had planned on doing. I know quite a few people were interested but this needs to go and im willing to take offers on this. Im using this as a redirection and if you are interested or have some offers, PM me and I may even be up for trades if you have something cool.



Heres what it comes with and its copied from the classified add here.

I was going to do a car computer in my car but decided against it. I have almost everything you need minus a few things...

Heres what it comes with:

Antec Overture II case (BRAND NEW)
Windows XP Pro
AMD XP 1600+
GBit Motherboard
256MB ddram
Samsung 60GB HardDrive
Holux 213 GPS Reciever - for Navigation
iGuidance Navigation Program - the best for USA
Audigy NX2 External Sound Card
16x cdrw
16x dvd player
GeForce 2 MX 3d card
ATI Radeon 9500 PRO 128mb - yes it comes with two video cards.
Stinger 300hz bass blockers
Perhiphial Line output - to intergrate in factory audio system
Pre 2001 Mach 460 tweeter amp
Wireless B Internet network card
2001+ Mach 460 aftermarket radio wiring & ground loop isolator
Also include a DIN radio slot if you have a fold out screen

You need a couple things for this setup to be complete:

The wiring to give this power from your car
a 12v PSU - but Ill include a used power inverter if you would rather use that.
A touchscreen monitor
I also suggest you go out and buy a dvdrw to replace the two cd/dvd drives. They act up sometimes and you can kill two birds with one stone plus have DVD writing capablilitys. They are 50 bucks. I also suggest you buy a DC/DC power supply. They now offer start up and shut down capabilitys as well as voltage protection.

As you can see, this is a very indepth system with a lot of components. Ive spent quite a few bucks putting this system togeather to be where its at and a lot of time getting everything setup on the computer. Theres about 600 bucks before the actual computer itself. You only need to spend about 200 on a screen, and then money on some wiring to get this computer fully up and running. If you have an SCT XCAL 2, or a capable datalogging handheld programmer, you can do your data logging right on this computer and see everything as its going on. This system is much more capable than ANY Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood, Eclipse unit on the market. Screw that 3 band or 5 band audio crap. You have a high end sound card and winamps equilizer to control your audio, or you can download plug-ins and have infinite audio control. You are essentially the limit of what this can do. They have programs so all you have to do is TELL this computer what movie to play, what song to play, where you would like to be directed with by navigation. The Car computer community is huge and there are TONS of programs and hardware to make these setups better. I might be forgetting some things so if I am, ill update.
There are aprox 300 albums on this computer and a couple movies. All legal, of course.



You can also check this guys ride out. Its a mach 1 with a car computer. Hes got a sweet setup and yours could be just like his or better.
