Gearstix Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 What I might be doing is put a small pc setup in a center console and have the video card feed into a myron davis monitor in the dash. Alot easier imo than rebuilding a laptop.. As for the hard drive.. hmm. I wonder if you could do some sort of compact flash conversion as they shouldn't skip, however there pricey.

Toxiccasper Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 too hard you would have to do some much circuit board chopping to make it fit in a skinner amp case. look at the size of a laptop and then an amp they are just too skinning be cheaper and easier to get a carputer board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tudski Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 well think about when u take all the plasitc and shit off and leave it to the basics i think it would be quite cool tho well my dad got a lap top at his work that he can give to me and now i just need to buy a broken not fixable amp to use the case Quote 1996 deville on 18" full face rims -2 gauge wire. -a2400db -RE SE-X in a 4ftc box tuned to 32hz -tview touch double din -rockford punch 6x9s(rear) -mtx 6.5(front) front and rear stage will soon be changed build log will start as soon as it aint cold!

Btrash Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) you wouldn't really be able to shrink the size of a laptop as it's footprint is dictated by the size of it's motherboard pretty much already. You would only be able to save the space of removing the frame. Which is why most people use mini-ITX boards for carputers, it has a much smaller footprint. As far as hard drive vibration, using a laptop harddrive would work best due to its anti-shock capabilities. For monitors, I have heard alot of good things about lilliput touchscreens - http://www.lilliputweb.net/ Could probably find one on e-bay.
