CarPC Project

This PC came out awesome!

Hope it doesn't over heat in summer.

All running well, I have it all set up so I can log my car or take a learning view snapshot with a few clicks and have the screenshot transferred straight to my desktop computer. I've also been using it to load up tune revisions.

Been using the full HD webcam to record video at track days, working brilliantly apart from the audio quality sucks and the little i3 takes a few minutes to process a 1GB video

Added up what it's ended up costing me, not the cheapest option but I'm happy with it and it's definitely been worth it. Having said that there's room to drop another $1000 into it...
