neo-ninja Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 HI All, Not sure what the rules are on getting a feel for value (so mods please move if you feel it needs to be elsewhere) I am about to buy a house and so am selling off a few things that I bought when I had lots of spondoolies to spend but now I could do with every extra penny. I built this carputer about 6 months ago, has done me proud and so much more I wanted / want to do with it but just haven’t got time to and need some extra cash so being that it is some obscene luxury and bling I figured it needed to be one of the first things to go! I did a bit of a write up on the build here: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=45658&hilit=+carputer Personally I didn’t want to settle for second best and use an android based system or Chinese system, so went for the full hog Carputer. With this you can watch films, browse the net, play music and use the best ca diag systems, I had a trial version of Dashcommand with GTR gages installed (trial is now over but for £25 you can get it up and running for life) It currently runs Windows 7 (yes windows 7!) and uses Centrafuse as a front end. I am not really sure I want to sell unless it is for the right price, so really at the moment it’s only a feeler thread to see if some one is seriously interested then I will take some pics with my name on and get them up. This is a very quick machine and starting from hibernate (which you normally always do takes around 30seconds to play music/movie) Ideally I am looking for somewhere around £600, for everything: That’s the PC (2gb ram, 3.2ghz, 6usb, onboard gfx, onboard sound, black mini atx case, 80gb hdd, m2-atx power supply) Wifi Wireless N dongle Bluetooth Dongle ODB2 Bluetooth scanner Centrafuse Windows 7 Cubby +Jap buttons (these are surprisingly pricey around £100 for the cubby and £20 for a finisher plate/ buttons) Power cable +fuse Grounding cables + usb etc... Lilliput7" screen My free services (via email) to get you setup / advice Anyway let me know your thoughts, if its too much for you let me know, if its right let me know, as I said only a feeler thread so if I don’t get interest I will keep. Thanks! Update - Really need to get it sold, have been lazy about putting it on Ebay, so selling it at what i hope to get min for. Offer welcome
andlid Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 I'd be interested in the PC parts, not the screen,cubby or buttons.
scubapics Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 I'd be interested in the cubby and buttons but they have to be mint condition.
scubapics Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 I'd be interested in the cubby and buttons but they have to be mint condition. I guess at a push I could take the screen and the cabling. What screen is it?
neo-ninja Posted July 10, 2011 Author Posted July 10, 2011 Ideally i want to keep it as a set but will PM Andlid to see what he wants. thanks all
neo-ninja Posted July 23, 2011 Author Posted July 23, 2011 Howdy All, SO had very little interest, if you are interested in any of teh parts let me know and i will see if its worth breaking it down. Sadly Andlid already built his system
scubapics Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 I'd like just the cubby and buttons as I already have everything else.
andlid Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 How much do you want for the case, only thing I have not decided on. Shame it was bad timing otherwise I would have snapped the whole kit up...
Karlp Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Hi mate noticed you have the jap cubby door, I also have one and it's been playing with not opening or responding when I press the button, have you had any issues with yours or know why it wouldn't open sometimes??

Karlp Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Hi mate how much would be interested in selling just the pc and screen for as I have the jap motorised cubby also
neo-ninja Posted August 5, 2011 Author Posted August 5, 2011 Still for sale - going to put on Ebay over the weekend, grab yourself a bargain now!
Coppz Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Does the OBD2 interface work with JDM? I have a "JapNav" built into my car which works with a British map ok.. So how would the pc integrate as I'm no pc genius! ;-) Many Thanks!

Hi there, So for the OBD2 scanner you will have to double check if it works on JDms im not sure, i know in Europe there was some regulation passed years ago that meant cars had to be compliant with obd scanners. As for your current sat nav i personally would throw it and sell it on ebay, a car pc is much more powerful, play movies, music, satnav, car engine specs and read out (assuming the obd2 works), view the web, work and wordprocess all in your car! If you just want the PC and not the cubby (as you already have yours) then do pm me for more details! thanks
