I bought one 8 month ago. Works great and fits perfectly.

I looked at the link and then youtube and saw the demo which has me keen but this is the first Ive heard of this.

Can someone who knows please give a very brief description and cost of a carputer and what else is needed to get this up and running.

Not sure if this is possible but can you display gauges on the screen via the carputer e.g oil pressure, oil temp, boost, etc.?

costs completely depend on what your doing with the car pc. $500 should see all the hardware (except the LCD but it sounds like you want to use the stock screen anyway) to get a basic computer running.

as for the gauges there are quite a few OBDII programs around that will display gauges on the screen. pcmscan is the only one I can think of atm. they should all work fine with one of the $30 chineese rip off ELM327 boxes from ebay so that side of it should be cheap to set up too.

Any tips on fitting it? I bought one of them a few months ago and it's still in it's box as I've only just finished building the PC. I was planning on trying to fit the screen and the PC in this weekend - weather permitting.

ok im intrigued. where is the best place to start to research carputers? best place to purchase?

forums at www.mp3car.com are great. got a few people on there who have done write ups about their installs in falcons. well worth a look.

as for purchasing there are a couple places to buy cases and then just get general PC parts
