Looking for a new innovative solution for the beretta and a new computer for the house...

I want to put this bad boy in the dash of the beretta but make it removeable.

So I can take it out and use it as I want...

This thing has enough features to make me drool...

Thoughts?

Pretty cool, you still need a processor, ram, hdd, and my guess is a cd drive. It's not very clear on what it comes with.

That's cheap, but... "cheap" is a concern.

Check out the ones at http://www.xenarc.com...
They have a hide-away unit, you can put the touch-screen anywhere (tell me touch-screen isn't a cool interface ), customize your software, and still end up with a price tag comparable to a Dell PC on special.

Plus, it's built specifically for car audio.

I've considered going to a system like that for rear view video to add a vid camera in the tail of the Charger just because rear visibility in that car is for crap thanks to such a steep fastback window, not unlike the 70 mustangs had.. makes for a slit of a rear window despite being able to land a plane on the thing.
I just hate the thought of losing the 7990 CD player so the screen and all would be separate from the CD player/audio system.

Well, I'm not 100% sure, but the computers look about "DIN chassis" sized - you could mount the brain right where the HU is now, and not really be changing things up...

... and consider it an opportunity to put the screen somewhere even better, in terms of viewability / accessibility?

I'm sure it accepts a backup camera... even the cheap ones, I'd bet.

My mom has an Intrepid that's the exact same way. Love the way the car drives, but the rear visibility of the cab forward design sucks ass.

I rented a Pontiac Grand Am once (and had to drive it back to NY from Texas, in fact, when my return flight was cancelled on a business trip, when 9/11 struck), and had the same experience - I felt like I was peeking over a brick wall, every time I looked in my rear window... felt like the rear of the car was jacked up in the air.
I've never driven a car like that before - and don't want to again.

Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if it HAD a rear camera... but it's a car, not a truck. Odd.
