Kick ass, but isn't having the cd player that low in front of the shifter a pain?

[lonestar22]

I so want to do this. I'm thinking of putting a full size ATX mb in the spare tire area of my trunk. Put plexiglass or something over top, add a few lights and I'll have something unique to show off in the trunk.

My only worry is that the subs will try to shake the connections loose.

Also, what program are you using to play mp3s? And has anyone thought about hooking their carputer to the engine sensors for monitoring/recording purposes? Anyone know how to connect the OBDII system to their 'puter? Just some thoughts on how to make it so a carputer is doing more than just playing mp3s, videos and loading navigation maps (you know, things that a store-bought DVD player with navigation could do?).

EDIT - oh yeah, has anyone here tried using Linux instead of Windows?
