you can easily use an old computer you have lying around as your carPC. Overall I spent about 200cdn only for my carPC since I did not buy any new computer parts, and only needed to purchase a DC-DC power supply and touchscreen. It'll be going in my echo hatchback, close enough to a yaris :)

Let us see some pictures when it is done.

that'll be a while, most likely in may i'll have everything put together with the touchscreen mounted into the head unit location. I've been mostly working on wiring at the moment for the audio system since I need to run the speakers with an amp, the carPC portion is easy when I finally succeed in getting the power wire to run to the trunk.

I do recall someone did a carPC in a yaris, but they used some stand to hold the touchscreen instead of flushmounting it where the old deck is located.

I think it was just a cleverly mounted laptop. For my money that isn't a carPC.

I just want my huge MP3 collection in my car. To never have to burn a CD again would be tremendous. Sure, I could get an iPod, but I'm not a 14 year old girl. LOL

taKuto · 03-27-2007, 09:46 AM

yeah I wanted something I could easily put MP3's into, so I initially planned to run everything off a USB stick, but since my motherboard didnt support it, I opted to run a HD to boot up (got it to boot in 30sec from cold boot to music playing, I can do better though), and then load up a playlist with MP3's stored on a USB drive every startup.

Yea, you just pretend to be an "18yr old THTH SWF."

Saw it on the net somewhere..

ChinoCharles · 03-27-2007, 10:02 AM

I have no idea what that means.

*Chris07LB* · 03-27-2007, 10:03 AM

ChinoCharles · 03-27-2007, 10:03 AM

THTH SWF??? Help?

... OH wait, I think I'm catching on... SWF is single white female, right? LOL

What is the THTH?

taKuto · 03-27-2007, 10:06 AM

google + urbandictionary.com, 'too hot/horny to handle' ?

ChinoCharles · 03-27-2007, 10:06 AM

That has to be it.

But Chris, I hate to break it to you... that wasn't me.

And wait a second... if you're married how the hell do you know all this internet whore slang, huh? What have you been doing on your days off.

*Chris07LB* · 03-27-2007, 10:22 AM

LMAO. I was 13yrs old at one time remember.

Ok, Mr. to hot to handle.

Mark my words, that phrase WILL now be in my DIY.
