Carputer questions

i\m not sure if this is supposed to be here or somewhere else, move na lang if it's in the wrong section.

i'm currently in the process of disassembling my old desktop PC, getting all sorts of cables for it, and eventually installing it in the car. since the old ATX case is too big to fit sa left rear side ng pajero (opposite where the 2nd aircon motor is), i'll be scratchbuilding a case probably using high-impact acrylic or something. anyone know the phone number of Joli's near UST and what time they open? they might be the best place to go for that kasi.

also, which shop can you recommend to make a sort of battery terminal block connector kasi i need to hook up pala the inverter (12V DC to 220V 400W AC) directly to the battery if it'll use 400W (300W yung power supply ng PC ko). the supplied alligator clamp is...not confidence-inspiring kasi, so i thought of having a custom connector na lang to the battery.

thanks!

I don't know much about PC's (parang nauubos ang pasensya ni jedi sa akin) let alone car PC's but here is someone who fitted a car PC in his ex-JDM Pajero: http://4x4ph.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=7856

Not sure about the specs or other aspects of the system so I'm just posting the photos.

hope he had a temporary hook on it with maching long (extra) cable attached so he can place it somewhere he can comfortably type....

I just recently finished my CarPC setup including the replacement of my stock speakers (2006 RAV4). However, I used a laptop instead of a PC because of mobility and relatively ease for updates.

Here is where you can find detailed of what I have done.

You could also go to www.mp3car.com if you want further info on your planned setup. I've done most of my research here and was really amazed on the tons of info found.
