Andrew
Looks like an interesting project. If you have 5 minutes, would you mind sharing any pics of the dash removed? When the dealers removed mine they moved some stuff i put in, so i wanted to try and formulate a plan of action  MikeLast edited by mse on 23rd Oct 2010 3:55pm. Edited 1 time in total |

Just started mine as well Andrew
, im mounting a compact car pc in the mobile storage cubby box base, routing the Liliput cables up the back of the dash and have the 10" touch screen on a quick release conector on the ledge just in front of the clock .
The pc will have all my navigation (road and offroad), itunes, mobile tinterweb and dvds loaded
Pics very soon, your a brave man taking the lot out!! You cannot teach stupid people to do clever things |

What sort of screen are you fitting?
I've got a LinITX 10.2" in my 110. works a treat. although I fitted a 12" to a friends 90,which is slightly better to look at for emails/web surfing, the 10" works brilliantly with mem map.  Click image to enlarge With a RAMmount: Click image to enlarge |

Screen in the folded position. Click image to enlarge  Sorry about the blurred pic, the screen in the upright position. It can be tilted to any angle. Sat 5 of us in the car and everyone can see the screen .

AndrewS,
Really impressive picture of the open dash and the screen looks
Just 2 questions How did you manage the air outlets that were located behind the screen? Any problem when you turn on the heater with the screen? Cheers Eduardo MY 2007 110 SW PUMA 2.4: Big Fog of 64' MY 1994 Jayco 1207 Folding camper: "El Tremendo" Click image to enlarge |

Intel E8400 Core 2 Duo processor (with Silverstone NT07-775 cooler) on a Zotac GF9300-I-E motherboard with 4GB of Crucial Ballistix RAM, 500Gb Seagate Momentus 7200.4 SATA 3GB/s hard drive (with G-Force Protection technology). All installed in a LinITX CarPC Chassis with a M2-ATX 160W Intelligent Car PSU and with an external LG GE20NU11 DVD drive. Running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. It will also have an Archos 7 plugged into it
My plan was to re-direct the air to the second row seats, however this proved impossible so they have been blanked off. The two circular directional vents and the two rectangular vents are all fed from the same outlet so no big deal. The two rectangular vents operate (blow) when the AC in turned on even if the fan is turned off. I have cut a few holes on the outlet manifold to allow this air to escape behind the dash if the circular vents happen to be closed. 130's have feeling's as well you know |

Nice spec!
I've got that M2-ATX PSU as well, works well. Archos7.....  is that in case anyone in the back gets bored of what you're showing in the front?
I'm only running XP on mine, mainly for memory map, microcat and other tech stuff, with a simple wifi dongle on the rollcage for picking up hotspots (then saving them on MM...  ) handy for parking up and checking emails or forums  |

Inside a mobile storage cubby box with a false fitted above it, takes up about 3-4" of cubby box depth but still loads of useable space

What's the airflow like around the PC if you fit it like that Steve?
Enough for it to stay cool in the desert? |
