you can buy the motherboard and all the other components and customize it to your needs. There are premade ones but its so much better to build your own and will be able to upgrade in the future. I have had VIA boards in the past but i the zotac board i have now is badass and runs great and is fully upgradeable

you can do anything a pc in your house can do on the touchscreen you name it you can do it on a car pc. also i have had the cam in my lower grill for sometime now its quite neat for autocross and stuff.

thats really cool, and you have like turn by turn gps too? i think i read that, and sirus radio i see also. this all looks liek a pretty good investment as far a decent DD goes, never mind a car that makes it to the track here and there.

got bored over the winter and redid the screen a little better had a hairline crack that bothered me. Also, got a new screen for the heck of it and redid how the back board attached to the bezel its self in the back. Used a piece of plexi to attach it cracked it in a few places but it does the job better then I had it last time

Agreed, this is awesome. I never took a look at the recent stuff you got (wireless N adapter, badass keyboard, etc.). Looks really nice, and the features look really cool.

What all can you do exactly with the OBD tool?


Oh and I still want to see this done with a Mac Mini :P
I would do it but I don't have the money. lol

the OBD tool i can monitor engine performance and also data log the info so i can later fine tune the engine also it allows me to do different types of digital gauges which is always a nice look.
