I think some of you have already installed a pc in your rides. But i really need some idea as i got a spare old pc laying around and hope i could run it in my kenari and probably add in a 14" LCD and run Wifi or watch DVD .
Its an old P3 600mhz with 256mb ram,onboard sound (creative) and agp card with tv-out.
The board is smaller then mATX .
The main thing is LOW COST DIY.
So, the problem would only be the expensive LCD monitor and how to mount it. Any one have an idea on how or where i should mount it ?
I know the in-car 7" LCD are easier to use and easier to mount but i wanted to use the pc for online purpose (wifi nearby cofffee bean) :D so 14" LCD is a must i guess.
Another problem would be the power supply. I think i need a sort of inverter from 12v to 240v AC . I saw one for sale at Low yat plaza for RM120 (a 150w) probably that would work with the pc i am using?
So, my setup would basicly consist of the following,
1. Pentium 3 600mhz.
2. Small Pentium3 motherboard with sound & Lan.
3. Wifi adapter on Usb.
4. 10GB hdd.
5. 200w power supply.
6. 14" LCD monitor.
Will add in a DVD rom later on when everything is working nicely.
Maybe some pro can share some more information which i am missing out before getting my head wet ??
