ok my brother owns a small computer company and me and him are very good at building computers so we have that part all figured out...and were doin the 2 screens for it in the visors but my only question is this... what do i need to upgrade as far as power consumption is concered..
i have a optima redtop battery
stock battery cables
stock alternator cable
stock alternator
etc...
i know i will probably need a better alternator? and maybe upgrade the big 3 but anthing else that can be thought of?
where are u getting the visor screens i want some but all i see is stuff that is too thingk u shouldnt need anything its only a computer i have 1600 watt amp neon under body in dash dvd leds in my vents and neon under seats..blue gauges.. i have stock batt. and alt. ive left @!#$ on for some time without car running still all doing good
let me know on the screens
You wont want to use rca as your input to your monitors. The text is unreadable and graphics arent as good. You will want either a xenarc (my favorite) or lilliput monitor with a vga input. Surf on over to
MP3Car for all the information you will ever need. You can check out my car pc installation in my Grand Am GT/PC
here. Feel free to contact me for any help, questions you may have.
Ok, your current electrical system is fine for a carputer. DO NOT use a house computer power supply, use a DC->DC supply so you don't need to go from 12V->110V->12V. If you can't find one, let me know.
As far as screens, if those are the only screens you plan on having, your computer will be virtualy unuseable except for MP3's and maybe movies. if it was me, I would go with a 10" or 12" datalux or EVO touch screen for the primary input. you can try to use one of the 7 or 8" touch screens but I find them small and too cramped unless you have a stylus or other pen device to use.

RCA works just fine for LCDs. The text isnt crystal clear but I can read it just fine, it looks more clear when your more then 2ft away also. If you just wana watch movies and such on the LCDs then RCA is fine, if you wana read alot on them I would say go another way.
