nice ebay Jag!

Computer needs up-speccing a smidegeon as well :) It is quite nice tho.

I'd rather have this -

I've seen that in the flesh... *very* nice.

Those front discs look very small.

They do dont they, but the wheels are 20" which probably distorts your perception of them slightly

oh and a metallic black

All lies tbh

" The car is the only car in the UK with the new state of the art In- Car Computer system that we developed and will be launching soon for approx £2500. It is a fully working mini low volt pc with the following hardware:"

Yawn i've had mine for over a year and carl had his before me....

And this...

"This system is mind blowing, there's nothing out that can do as much, be the first to own it!!"

Does it have Video? no

Does it have 3 screens ? no

:)

And the guys over at

You have their system they havn't launched yet? Impressive :)

Tints you reckon? Headlights or rear lights, green or purple?

I like the fact that it's an ABSOLUTE BARGIN but I wasn't impressed with the car's ability to 'accelerate past porches' - even my car can do that.

a few questions why not just go and get the jag big brake set up with the 4 pots? it out accelerates "porches"? f*ck me, my granny does that in her walking stick and she can only do about

oh and a metallic black

v nice

v crap :)

window tints ;) light black smoke or something would look mint

I would like to know how they got a 2.8ghz pc running in there car, specially if its on a 12v setup thats almost impossible at present,

Also if there using a invertor which I would imagine they would need a pretty hefty one to run that cpu and config, prob over 500 watts, mine just powers a 2ghz amd xp.

Does this mean my laptop will need a hefty inverter? Its a 2.6 P4.

An Opus 150Watt should handle it, if they use laptop components for everything else.

There is more than enough power coming from your car's alternator, to power a 2.8GHz PC - hell, it could probably power a whole bunch of them :)

Providing you use a decent regulated transformer to obtain the necessary

CRTs object to being fed "square wave" AC, but you're not likely to want one in a car for size reasons anyway.

I was thinking about this - first the possibility of obtaining a dead-screen iBook, then thoughts of iMacs...

If I could ever get hold of a G4 iMac cheap, I'd find a way of mounting that funky LCD to the centre of the dash in one of my cars.

OTOH, a 15" LCD is going to be a real PITA to drive around...

???? its not the voltages that matters its the current and the P4 2.8ghz chip needs a min of 400watt psu according to Intel, the max an opus PSU will allow is 150w at 12v and I would like to see you run a normal P4 and accessories from a 150watt opus.

A fully loaded P4 with GF card HDD etc will pull well over 150watts, tell me how your going to get that from a 12v supply?

Theres nothing on the market at the moment that can run 12v with that kind of wattage.

An AMD xp 2000+ wont even boot unless you have a min of a 300watt PSU, I have tried trust me.

A celeron 1.7 will run off a 200watt psu.

If you can point me to a device that will run a P4 2.8ghz ~ 12v I will buy it now.
