CJ Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I was perusing (I love that word) the MR2OC forum and came across this? http://mr2oc.co.uk/forums/95/150542.html?p=1574739#p1574739 Now, I don't have much of an idea of what is being said and I am hoping the more tech savvy amongst you can enlighten me but it seems to me he is talking about putting together a very cheap in car PC system. Am I reading that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creative Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I've been watching these for a while cj. I also had the thought of putting one together for the car... Basically they are a cheap, bare bones linux based pc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Last I read on it it seemed fairly straight forward to add a hdd and run a version of 'nix on it. It has a lot of potential for a cheap ass system. The only part putting me off is Linux.... I just don't have the patience for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I've been eagerly awaiting getting my hands on a few of these for a while now! Got a few projects in mind. Hopefully first batch will be available in the next week or two. It's $25 by the way, not £. That's for the basic one without network anyway. $35 for the one with network I believe.
