The following photo is a shot of the main components: VoomPC case, Seagate hard drive, and M2-ATX power supply board for our Car PC. It also shows a Star monitor I used to check the mainboard before permanent installation of a touch screen:
Vertical mounting of the hard drives, rather than horizontal mounting, can minimize trouble from hard impacts and minimize "head crash" situations. If you know a drive will be getting serious abuse, choose a location for the enclosures that provide sufficient air flow and keep the disks perpendicular to the road.
Assembling the Car PC
Before assembly, and before making final decisions on parts, make sure you have a solid plan and a proper place to work. Finding the right place to work on your car PC will make for a cleaner installation and speed your project along. Look for a protected location with good lighting. You'll also want to use a droplight to help you with interior fitting and for working under the hood. Don't forget Internet access for downloading applications, updates, etc. While garages with a high-speed hook-up might be hard to come by, you'll only need network access for a short period. So be prepared to string a long cable, or use a USB wireless-network adaptor.
