600mhz, upgraded to 40 gig HD, running windows XP with 256 megs of ram, now to purchase an 8in touchscreen.
What do you think?

I also have a mini keyboard to go with it!

thats pretty sweet
where did that case come from??

SlowStang305 · 06-03-2007, 02:40 PM

Its a micro PC case. My next computer will be built inside an X BOX case that I have

Thats pretty tight. I was thinking of building myself one too, but not enough money or time.

One thing is, with your specs, XP is going to run like a turtle. Windows 2000 would perhaps be a better choice.

Yeah I had to minimize all the settings in XP and make it run pretty basic. Its actually decent LOL, hard to believe

Sweet.

I love carputer projects. The way I want to put things together always costs way too much though.

endlesszeal · 06-04-2007, 02:07 AM

haha yeah i was going to mention linux. i knew it had a small foot print but dont know how small because i have zero exp. with it.

SlowStang305 · 06-04-2007, 07:08 AM

Havent mastered linux yet, but hmm, might not be a bad idea. I want to upgrade the ram to 512
