Looks good bro!
I've been wanting to do something like this for awhile but I've got a few questions, such as, how easy/hard is it to see the main page of Windows? What resolution are you using? I'm curious about the heat and how well does the mobo/CPU handles it and does the bass from the subs cause issues with the harddrive since it's constantly skimming the disk?

Thanks bud,

well basically I have a friend by me that has a galant also and he has a carpc in his car so he built mine for me. The specifics I am not really sure about. The screen is not too tough to see. The moonroof being open was what was affecting viewing of the screen in those pics. Check out www.mp3car.com you will find all your answers there.
As far as my bass that hasn't really affected the pc yet. The sound is so much better than with a headunit. I have been listening to music with the volume at 1 and it's tough to speak to passengers in the car. I have gone up to 20, and it's pretty damn loud in my car and the volume goes up to 100. As far as heat, the computer will be affected by heat for sure. There are fans installed in the case, 3 that suck air in and 3 that blow air out. I was told that at times it might be too hot, in the case and in the trunk that I am better off keeping the pc off until it cools down. Right now it is still cool here, so I am not worried about it just yet. But I was told that I should get a controller which will monitor the case temp and display it on the screen so I have an idea of what's going on in the case.

just cool the computer by Liquid Cooling System

the liquid cooling keeps the computer ......like 20 deg. colder
