Project CarPuter

Al asked:


I want to run a pioneer 750 watt car audio amp using PC power supplies. I have a bunch of 200 watt ones kicking around to use. I think that I am supposed to have at least 750 watts out of my power supplies for the amp if I’m correct. Is it possible to hook all the yellow 12 volt lines from each one, and all of the ground wires from all of them, to 2 posts for my 12 volt and ground? Or is there some other way it must be done? Any help is good, but definitely a plus if you have done this before. Thanks.

I want to buy a device that will let me use my computer in my car through the cigarette outlet. Its an HP laptop and has a 65W AC adapter. I want to get something that won’t short out any circuits and isn’t too powerful or too weak for it.

Mr Cooper asked:


I had a “carputer” for a while, then i realized it sorta sucked having it because I barely ever used it. So I took the laptop and the touchscreen out of my car. I was thinking of using it to control a projector and use it as a home theater system.. but then again, I also feel like it’s not worth the extra money to buy a projector. So, what would YOU do with it.

jigm1 asked:


would a pc or mac be the best choice in marking a carpc, and why would it be. also which one has the most supplies to make the computer all perfect…(like bluetooth, wifi, am/fm station, etc)

B asked:


Will I be able to connect a carputer with a XGA monitor?

Maria Felix asked:


I have a lap top and found a car charger that fits the hole on the PC. can I use it or do they have to be the same voltage and what voltage is it?
thanks.
