It has 7inche LCD TFT monitor with VGA input.And Its touch sensitive display.I have attached a Touch sensitive Panel for 7 inch display using usb module.So no use of Mouse or Keyboard.Because Its fully touch sensitive.

Few parts I have bought from Ebay and local shops.

Its Intergraded with Bluetooth,and it has USB remote controller for control all things.

Enclosure was designed and made by myself.(its aluminum)

It can display a vehicle current running details of Vehicle Engine details like ( Engine RPM,acceleration,Engine temperature,Water temperature,errors and troubles in engine,etc)

And If you are a doing Motor Sports or if you have any custom ECU in your car. You can easily connect with your ECU through the USB or Serial and can Tune your ECU as you want.Because you don't want your LAPTOP anymore. If you fit a PC like this in your car you must have an awesome time. You won't miss any Entertainment! Enjoy!

I'm going to improve this with a OBD ii interface and display real time vehicle running details on display. And as a special feature will add tuning function for after market ecu's.

I remember the days when Mini-itx was king of carputers. Nowadays with android and iOS tablets, as well as the Rasberry Pi, they've fallen a bit by the wayside. It's good to see someone still building a real "Car PC" - can't wait to see what you do with all the power.
