A Windows mini-PC for my car for only $85?

RE: A Windows mini-PC for my car for only $85?
I just went outside and snapped two quick pictures of it. The new shelf sits level with the "floor" of the old trunk. But i removed t spare tire so the entire well down below was empty. I then put foam in it and then put my sub box in. So the sub box actually sits below the shelf. I had to cut a hole in the shelf so the sub could slide in and out of it when i needed to remove it. The amp is mounted to the left of the sub and the capicator is to the right of the sub 9as you can see, it is reading 12 volts because the car is not running. When I popped the trunk and the interior light came on, it caused the capicator to come on. Then the nitrous bottle is to the right of that.
Can you believe I have a battery and a methanol tank / pump mounted in there? Oh, and yes I already know, I haven't installed the blowdown tube yet. I have to drill a new hole for that now.
Most of the wires were hid by the carpeting, which I cut to make it fit as close as posible. I tried to make it look like the sub enclosure was actually part of the shelf itself.
Also, the sub doesn't sit quite as high as it would seem in the pics. It sounds great though!
I know, it's not the greatest or cleanest install, but you should have seen the mess I had before! And don't forget, i only spent $2.01 in wood that i got from their scrap pile, lol.

Thanx. You know... the more I look at the wires to the capicator, the more I hate it, lol. I got lazy and figured that it was so close to the back that I could get away with not hiding them. But they stick out like a sore thumb. I'm gonna have to fix that tomorrow . That's what i get for being lazy and trying to rush the job.

I like the idea you got for your Tweecer. I was looking at this thing awile back, I forgot what it was called, it was these little hand held touch screen computers that contractors use. They used like a PIII and like some shrunk version of Win98. Only problem was you had to buy the base thing for it so you could use it with a keyboard and use its ports.
$18 for a touch screen!!! You lucky *****! [:'(]

This would be nice for my 87 GT.
It's nice knowing about computers and able to do all of this stuff yourself (I have been looking into doing computer repair/web development on the side for some extra cash)
