Carputer...

Looking to maybe go this route and eliminate a Head Unit

Will that work?

I've been interested in this sort of thing as well. It'd be a great excuse for me to ge tsome fiberglass put in a screen.

As far as that thing goes, where would you put it if you want to use the buttons on the thing. I'd rather build my own pc from scratch using a mini-itx mobo & processor, a basic simple case that i could hide in the trunk, and then a touch screen moniter up front.

Well the reason I took intrest to it is because the display looks like a radio.

Its going in the beretta... So it can go right where thef actory radio is/was ;) Gotta love fiberglass!

Not the most attractive thing, but will definitely give the Beretta that stock look. And there's lots of things you can do with it too. Should be real cool. What's the price on that btw? I didn't see one on the link.

I can pick the barebones up for under $250...

Might be able to find it cheaper. I just let a fully ready to go unit with s 2.4 GHz and 60 gig HDD go for like $300ish...

Just dont have the cash- but that was a hella good deal.

If I go this route, my carputer will be better/faster than my home! :(
