In Car PC - 4/17/2008 11:29:24 PM    RanDJ8487 Posts: 222 Joined: 5/14/2006 From: Hagerstown, MD Status: offline Hey Guys I was wondering if anyone had experience with putting a PC in a car. I'm very PC knowledgable but not so much for in a car. I was thinking about doing this in my 94. Anyone know anything about price/ simplicity and what not?
