I do but depend on the price range.

If the system (MB, CPU, RAM, power supply) + screen + JDM dash + PC-2-Car cost less that 2-din GPS DVD head + Corksport, I would go with Car PC.

I have unused HHD and Windows XP, that might save some $.
Still, I need interface program. I still dont know which one, Roadrunner or others.

About screen, I guess many people might want motorize touch screen that fold back when pc stop.
I am interest in this one.

hey guys....

this system realistically cost around $1500 after everything, so a GB would be much for expensive. Also, you have to be pretty literate with computers to be able to maintain one of these.... I can just see all the PMs I'd be getting a few months from now when someone has a problem with a map update or something.

I'll throw together a detailed parts list this weekend if anyone is really interested, but there is no foreseeable group buy.

The bass vibrations... the solution would be SSD or move it to the front...

I just realized something... I own an OQO Model 02 and all I need to do is connect the screen and get a few USB stuff for it :D

Bass vibrations are no problem. I had this thing mounted between two 10's for 3 years.
