Car PC Mk2 - Permanent Install

So after the success of installing a car PC, I saved some funds for a more permanent install. This would be a new motherboard with a bit more oomph, a solid state HDD (the spindle disk just wasnt upto a mobile installation), and a touchscreen monitor in the dash.

The wiring loom was first to make. There was to be NO chopping into the existing wiring as the car may need to be put back to standard in the future. So a quadlock female connector was first on the shopping list. The wiring loom goes to the boot and carried all speaker channels, power for the screen, HDMI, and 3x USB cables.
