| Celica Carputer ver 1.0 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| i guess it has to start somewhere and it started up with a complaint that the sub-box was rolling around the boot, so i made a quick fix to stop the thuds around bends | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| well the wsh to buy a MP3 compatible head unit set in and my school asked us to do a project for systems and technology, then the idea hit me: ill build a PC, i was shot down with that idea because it was too easy to do, then i came to the conclusion, ill thrw it in the celica!!, then i dont need to buy a mp3 ready head unit!!, so theres how it all started... weather you wanted to know or not...you do now muahahah.. anyway after the idea was firmly in my head i set off to build it, beying more handy with a drill then a soldeing iorn i decided to do things as simple as possible: a standard PC in the box i made to stop the speakers thumping around, sounded simple enough, so i set to work. |

| after finding a gigabyte motherboard in my spairs pile i threw a 128MB vid card and a 10/100 ethernet card, for updating my files, and that i thought was that..bar the power probem. nothing a meaty inverter cant fix!!, just be careful what auto-electrician you use, the dumb ass who wired mine up took the power from the steering column and replaced the 15 amp fuse with a 40 one, without upgrading the tiny wires..... no onder my dash was spewing smoke down the citylink!! thats, Melbourne, Australia before you ask | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Vid card and NIC brackets to hold them down when i am barreling around my burb | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
