Carputer

I started the carputer back in 2002 after hearing about VIA's new mini-ITX form factor integrated motherboards. Suddenly it seems possible to fit a computer in my car, so I set about the task of working out how to make the hardware run in a mobile environment.

Not any movement on the Car-Puter design, but I've taken a whole set of pictures for you to enjoy.
I'm current looking into wiring up my Nokia 7110 as a modem though... that would be cool :)

The Mini-ITX board, look at those ports!

Now this is the GPS device plugged in, via USB

The board, GPS and LCD, all very small

To help you get an idea of scale. The MiniITX board next to a CD :)
