Toyed with a car PC for a while some time back. It's nice but I wouldn't say it's WAY BETTER than getting a good head unit. Car PC has it's own set of drawbacks too and after a while, I just prefer to leave my PC on the desk.

I listed down quite a few things that a car PC would be useful for, but in the end I realise that the most frequent thing I use it for is to play MP3s and if you replace your audio system with a car PC, you will need to boot up everytime you wanna listen to your MP3s and shutdown at the end of every drive. Quite a drag if you ask me... but everyone's different. Watching vids/movies, playing games, web surfing, GPS, all fine and good, but end of the day.. too troublesome and don't look as nice as 2-DIN head unit.

One prob is that DVD audio not established yet.

Having said that, I'd still like to see the 1st PS3 siao to install in his 8.
wait bro....wait..... just need to wait for my friend to learn how to mod the set first.
then see where to install....cos the ps3 is huge man.
with the ps2....i have to upgrade the inverter twice before it functions well. with the ps3...i dunno man....maybe need to run a dedicated battery.
but on a serious note....really no point putting the ps3 inside. too good a console to be fitted into a car. Not only you need 1080 hi-res, to fully maximise the effects, need a TV with HDTV capabilities.
I thinking of putting super nintendo so that i can play mario kart.

Yup, the PS3 belongs with a hi-res big screen entertainment system. Maybe can mount a Philips 37" 1080 LCD on the inside of the boot lid and the PS3 into the boot tray. Then open the boot and unfold the camping chair to lounge out behind the 8 to the latest PS3 titles. I'm good at giving other people bad ideas on how to spend money.. ha ha. Only problem left to figure out is how to avoid the exhaust fumes.

Yah, then the next thing I gotta do is insure the damn thing coz it's going to get broken into for sure. Even if it's insured, I'm sure I do not want to go through all that trouble with insurance claims and repairs, etc. Like I said, PS3 belongs in the living room entertainment system.
