Check out my fellow pov modder in canada man!

I'm inspired! will start doing exploration into how to do this (i've got a barebones pc lying around at doing nothing anyway)

P.s. Can you guys suggest how to power this sucker? I'm thinking one of those invertors I see on ebay that tap either the 12v Ciggy lighter or directly from the battery (then i'll have to make a relay switch for it). Any ideas on what the adverse effects of running an invertor in the car all the time are?

There are pc power supplies designed for car use.

Give me a sec to find the linkie -- and I'll link you up :)

cartft - powersupply page

Theres a stack more that I have because I like the idea of putting a 7" touch screen in the dash in the stock spot ... attached to my incar pc (in progress as I slowly save money... I'm a POV modder too and have other things I want to do first....) with a blue tooth game pad so my passengers can play games while I drive :)

I'd also like to connect a ps2 to the touch screen as well so you can switch - one second doing PC things, the next playing games on the PS2 ....

Yeah Bill, But that's not the povo way!

I've already got a (ok more like 3) comps i can throw in the car for this project. An old school celeron 500, a slightly newer duron 1.1GHz and a amd-64 3000+

so i've already got all the mobo bits and suff, all i really want is the power supply and i'll povo up the rest!

      Can I put a 2010 bumper on my 2008 Camry ?

      I have a 2008 Camry altise and recently damaged the front bumper and i'm wondering if I can fit a 2010 sportivo bumper on to replace it. It looks like it fits I know I will need to get new headlights for it to fit but do I need to do any modifications or will all the plastic clips and screws line up ?

      Anyone else tried these seat covers ?

      these seat covers look pretty good, but I've had bad experience when trying to fit some cheaper ones I bought online - they say custom fit, anyone else tried them ? Would love to know before I buy them, thanks all https://mycustomcar.com.au/

      am2 fuse blowing

      Hello, i have a 1996 starlet The problem is when i turn the key the fuse blows, and i have been looking over the wiring and can’t find any shorts or damaged wire. The car would not crank over because of the fise blowing. I found out that if i disconnect the transponder key ecu the fuse is holding, but as soon as i connect the transponder the fuse blows. So i wonder if there is something I can try out? should i just buy a new transponder box or is it something else i could try? and is it not kinda wierd that the box is the problem? I have looked inside the box and cant see any corrosion in the box

      Toyota Celica '96 5S-FE no spark

      Hi everyone, I have spent too much time on my Celica and even my mechanic is stumped at figuring out the issue so any tips will be appreciated. Here is what has been done, immobiliser disbabled, distributor replaced, igniter replaced, EFI relay replaced, and EFI 15AMP fuse is not blown. I tried jumping E1 and TE1 in the diagnostic port to try and get a code from the CEL but it doesn't light up, I think it might be burned out so I will have to get on that. I am now clueless about what to do next, it could be the ECU but I can't find any pointers too that.
