Computer in my car??

[joker_927]

Is it possible to get some really old pieces of computer hardware, and jimmy an mp3 player for the car.

I have no clue how you would hook it up to the car, but is it possible? I mean all you would need is an old mobo, a very small CPU like a 100mhz, 3 GB hd, a sound card, and ram. I can't think off the top of my head how you would power the thing....

It would be cool to have one, and cheap since I have tons of old computer junk.

Yep.

can be done.

the only thing i think you may need besides micky mouseing the whole thing is a 12 - 110v adapter.

Yeah, this idea has been around for years.

Google is your friend.

The idea is somewhat old sk00 because you can now get mp3 head units for $250 that go right where any cd player goes...having a monster computer stuffed somewhere in my car would be rather inconvient....unless you're looking for a project.
