Good observation...
but this plug has no function as of yet. This block came out of an old motherboard for my usb plugs. You never know if you need another plug for something later on.

Very brilliant MGD The setup is awesome ... about your 8.4" screen, I have bought a carputer last year with an 8.4" screen and I couldn't fit it to the Nav-Bezel without hard customization ... could you please guide me on this matter

for bonding ABS to ABS there is NOTHING better then duramix 4040. Its semi rigid and sandable. You can then make a sort of slurry of this mix and some solvent (alcohol) and use this to fill in any fine voids before your final fill and paint.

I'm curious about this, can you have a carputer in a colder climate. I'd assume not. I live in Ottawa, Canada and it hits -30 degrees celcius (-22 Fahrenheit ) easily in the winter.

I'd assume a Carputer could not stand up to this kind of cold, right?

Ther are many people fron Canada on the Mp3car.com forum. I think the biggest problem would be the harddrive, but in a thick layer of styrofoam will help. You can even nLight your XP installation and run from a Solid State Disk.
