Car PC

This is my first attempt at installing a PC in my car. The car is a 2005 Mazda6 S. The nice thing about the 6 is that is has a map pocket in the dash where the nav screen would be. This makes for a perfect spot to install a 7" touchscreen monitor.

I wish I had taken the time to take pictures during the installation as well. I guess I was just too focused on getting everything done to document the process. You can view my install log here. Thanks for visiting. I welcome any questions.
