View Full Version : Starting the carputer project
This is my first attempt at fabricating anything. After some epoxy, bondo, and a ton of sanding, this is where I am. I'll need some more touch ups but I'm done for today. I spent a lot of hours on this thing already, I hope it comes out decent in the end.
I'm using the lilliput EBY-701. Main reason for going this route was the price. I want to keep this project cheap. For a computer I'll be using my spare IBM T23 laptop for now.

Good work bro. Let's race to the finish...who gets his Carputer done first...as I am at the exact same stage.

Didn't see your thread before I posted. Got trigger happy.. Ton of info in there that I'm sure I can leverage. Nice. Let's consolidate, I'll post there. I'll let this one die.

Bezel is looking good so far. I'm getting so fed up w/ my Motorized In-dash touchscreen (dww-700m) with my CarPC, that i will be looking to do go this route.
Keep up the good work, can't wait to see the progress.

psh.. my carputer was done a long time ago ;)
na seriously.. you'll find out right quick like you never finish this project, you just keep going and going and going until you're broke or tired of it.
I only started this last saturday and I can see that already. :icon_bigg In the end if all I have is some kind of nav and am able to datalog to it, I consider it a win.
