Car PC Mk3 - Final Hardware Changes and Software Installs

The final version of the CarPC has been upgraded to include an ASUS ion5t motherboard, dual core processor, 4Gb RAM, larger SSD, and another change in audio. The Fli stuff has gone to be replaced by a 4channel JBL amp, two mono block amps, and two 1200W subwoofers, all JBL.

The install is running Windows XP ICE edition which was specifically stripped out to run in a car! The system boots from cold in under 15 seconds and then loads a shell called Centrafuse.
