    That's the problem with my car pc.. it turned into a media server because I am too cheap to buy an ssd so I dont have to worry about head crashes.
    Regedit'ed, Rooted, and Jailbroke anymore questions?
    Here’s a bumper sticker I’d like to see: “We are the proud parents of a child who’s self-esteem is sufficient that he doesn’t need us promoting his minor scholastic achievements on the back of our car.”

    It's a fully motorized in-dash touchscreen. It's called K90, it says "Cartft.de" on the label!

    I bought it second hand after breaking 2 others.. :lol:

    In all honesty I only had one hdd die on me in 3 years of driving around. It was a 2.5" so it's a bit more sturdy than the 3.5 though!

    Sorry!

    As stated above, I use a 7" motorized touchscreen.
    And I use the Centrafuse frontend. No way to navigate in windows on a 7" touch!

    I actually got the Centrafuse sponsored. After using it for their 30 day fully open trial period I was sold! I tried a couple other frontends, but this is just so frikkin easy to use.

    Hope that answers your question!

    yeah, thanks.

    i've tried centrafuse and i like it. also tried riderunner and frodo and something else windows based. i like centrafuse because it lets you interface with garmin pc.

    i also tried linux ICE. which i liked a lot and it even recognized the gps antenna i pluggin without a hitch. but i could not get the gps nav to work. i could bring up a map of where i was, but i couldn't figure out how to get it to give me directions. that was a few years ago, so maybe there's a new better version out.

    I tried Roadrunner back then, didn't really do it for me. But the options were limited some years ago unless you were a programmer and wanted to mess around with it!

    I always wanted to try linux purely for speed. But I never got around to it!

    Yeah, then you go from bumpy to bouncy! lol

    I've been meaning to steal a 12" Earthquake shallow from a friend for some time now, but we just never got around to it. I only have a single 10" in there now and it's okay. My main concern is the space, and a shallow can be built into my spare wheel so nothing get's taken out!

    My pc is so old that it's runing IDE not SATA. That made it a bit harder to find an ssd, but it's around $100-130 for a 32gb and mine cut the boot time in half!
