CARPUTER
I use my carputer for in car entertainment. I can watch movies, listen to music, gps, surf the net, and much more. I eliminated my headunit!

Thanks to the mp3car forums for help with my carputer,
My mp3car profile. There are pictures of inside the case on there, if you are interested.

I activated my Sirius radio (stratus 4) for lifetime.

Specs:
Intel DG101GLY w/celeron 215

SB Audigy 2 w/ KX Drivers
RoadRunner
Garmin USB 18 GPS and BU-353

Current Stereo:

I have a Optima yellowtop, with a stinger 80amp relay and 4ga wire running the main battery.

I also have a 4ga running from the main battery to the body. I hope to finish the big 3 with 4ga wire soon.

here is what the finished product looks like:

I installed my garmin gps on the roof:

 

I was working on the windows, so I put the monitor on top of my sub. This way it was out of the way and still easy to change songs.

 

Amp Rack(Not bad for my first one, if I say so myself)
I hid all the wires behind the board in order to have a clean install.
Bracing on wall:
