So i had a spare micro computer and 15" lcd monitor that ran off 12v dc.
got to thinking on how to install it in my rig with it being functional yet out of the way and sturdy. I came up with this.
removed center seat and armrest, built a simple box and reattached the armrest to it. Secured the computer to the bottom under the monitor, i have storage in the box as well and in the armrest.
dell 15" lcd monitor with back removed for securing to box.
dell optiplex sx260 with intel 2.3ghz processor 1gb memory built in video.
120g hd with dvd tray insert
delorme topo street atlas software
i have it set up with a garmin gps map 60csx with topo on it as well for hendheld backup or out of truck navigation. i will be getting a trackball wireless mouse soon and velcro it somewhere (not on the steering wheel, airbags hurt).
I flip one switch, push the power on the gps and wait for it to boot and it autoloads the program and starts tracking. easy as pie!
down the road i will upgrade to a solid state disk to avoid the ravages of being offroad with a spinning platter drive.
