My current project- MobilePC (teaser content)

I just wanted to show a few people the prototype of my MobilePC. Right now the unit is functioning perfectly. I thought I would show a few pictures of the enclosure and the screen etc.

The box currently is way to big, and will probably be half the size when I am done and it goes up for sale. Currently I have 2 units, one in the TT and one in a ML320. The machine is probably more powerful them most peoples current home pc and runs: DVD Video, MP3 Audio, Wireless Internet with Verizon Wireless, Wireless LAN when close enough to the node, GPS- voice activated (might change at some point), VAG-COM, I also have a copy of the Bentley Audi TT Manual installed. Here are a few pics... (of the enclosure and screen- not giving out details yet)

6in widescreen with built in FM Modulator, it does not even touch my hand when I shift in reverse

Usually reverse is higher then the other 3 gears, but it does not touch at all. Right now it is not "mounted" it is pressed between the two pads and fits very snug in there. Of couse there is a small blind spot on the screen since the shifter is directly in view of it, but it is not a problem at all.
