Tuesday, June 23, 2009. Motherboard/CPU: Zotac IONITX-D-E (Nvidia ION). In my search for a low power consuming hardware, I came across a new platform developed by Nvidia called ION.  It's a mini-itx form factor motherboard with GF9400M video on board and takes either a single or dual core Intel Atom CPU.  The first company to sell just the motherboard is Zotac. 160;There are a few different packages to chose from, but this one looks like the best choice for a car PC.

Dodge Grand Caravan Custom CarPC: Touch Screen: Options!

http://customcarpc.blogspot.com/2009/07/touch-screen-options.html

Tuesday, July 7, 2009. I think this is the area where I have the most options.  I haven't set a budget on my project (bad idea) but for the most part the cost variation is minimal except for screens and amplifiers.  The screen in a car PC is basically fundamental.  It acts not only as the display to your computer, but also as the interface.  Here are my requirements for a screen. Can be fitted in my double din dash opening. Double DIN Lilliput 629 Touch Screen Monitor. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Dodge Grand Caravan Custom CarPC: August 2009

http://customcarpc.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Monday, August 31, 2009. Trials and tribulations with my M2-ATX. For the most part it was fairly easy to assemble my first car pc. I've got about 15 years of experience with building pc's, from my first IBM XT in the late 80's right up to my latest dual core Intel gaming pc. The only relative unknown in this car pc is the automotive power supply (M2-ATX). Straightened me out on this, everything powered on and came to life! One thing to note about the J8 and J9 pins on the M2-ATX. Some question was ra...

Dodge Grand Caravan Custom CarPC: June 2009

http://customcarpc.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 24, 2009. Case: Mo-Co-So 4th Gen Mini ITX. The biggest concerns with choosing the right case for a car PC are as follows:. Fits a mini-itx motherboard. Compatible with your power supply. Probably most any mini-itx case would work fine as long as it has a spot to mount the power supply, but I narrowed my search to cases designed specificaly for car PC's. The case that stands out to me to be the best choice is from a company called Mo-Co-So. 160;The 4th gen Mini ITX. Tuesday, June 23, 2009.
