On the right is the first carputer I ever made. Circa 2004 VIA EPIA chipset, 1 ghz fanless proc. Windows based, Frodoplayer front end, that hard drive might be 40 gb, 512 mb ram.
On the left is the future. Circa 2010. Intel mini itx platform, dual core mobile proc, dedicated 12volt vehicle power supply, 120 gb laptop hdd, 2gb ram.
Planned features.
gps antenna, obd usb diagnostics/tuning, wireless music sync, gps software, optical output, Centrafuse frontend.
Should fit in the cargo box mounted in the tailgate or in the glove box completely out of sight.
…and a dental pick to trigger a reset button and remove stubborn RTV.
Sensibly Ridiculous
