Computer option for those without laptop and want LS1-Edit :) I've been wanting to do a miniboard PC in my car for a while to run LS1-edit. I found this unit a while back after searching around. It is 6" by 6" and only a couple inches thick. It will easily fit in the console of an f-body and possibly the glovebox too. I hadn't checked that out. It has a DVD drive and 1 Ghz P3 processor. The keyboard can be hooked up only when needed. I planned on pairing this with an in dash screen that flips out. The two together cost about the same as a good laptop but you don't have to worry about packing it in and out. It also only weighs 950 grams so its not heavy.
Just an idea I had. Consealable desktop computer seems like something that would stick out at shows and be easier to mount for ATAP runs than a laptop.
Opinions please <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Computer option for those without laptop and want LS1-Edit :) Sounds like a good idea to me. Where did you find pricing/size info? It's borderline ricer, but if it's functional, who cares. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Computer option for those without laptop and want LS1-Edit :) You can customize them from this link. I probably won't do it but just thought it would be kinda cool. Not any cheaper than a new laptop but small details like that add points up at shows. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Computer option for those without laptop and want LS1-Edit :) You could use an adapter to hook it into a cigarette lighter or other power source.
