Mad JDM Tyte soundcard.
 
The bad news is that thanks to my G50 I have no money to put on the finishing touches (for a couple days at least =))

Crazy powerfull for a car pc! lol. Not even the pc im on right now has a third of the speed of that processor lol. Cant wait to see the finished product.
 
R u gonna be running a seperate HU or the car pc gonna run everything?

you are not using a gel cell hard drive?  Are you sure that Hitachi one will stand up to these houston roads and heat?

the pc will run everything. the sound card is a "consumer audiophile grade" and it will be run with a tru ssld6 line driver so hopefully i'll get some good sq.

not sure but hard drives are cheap and good a ssd good mad expensive. i will be installing the trimmed down os to a no write compact flash so failure won't be detrimental. i'm also considering some type of liquid cooling system for all the electronics. :dunno:

ya those ssd drives are taxin.  Well as long as you mount it in a secure location, I dont think you will have any problems.

not bad.  I was gonna try to build one with all the parts inside where the HU goes.  There is actually a lot of room in there just gotta cut some holes for air flow on the sides of the center console near the floor boards.

good stuff :biggthumpup:

where did you find the tru line drivers? i might need a couple

are you going to run any other tru hardware?

i'm runnin:
 
tru ssld6
tru s500
tru s44
and dynaudio componenets/subs
