This was originally from my sunfire, but its broken. Its a 2004 and has had over $15000 worth of warranty work and GM has red flagged the car, under the assumption I am abusing it. But nonetheless the system was removed and I put it in the accord.
The computer consists of this
First, an 800W digital inverter (modified sine wave)
ASRock K7S41GX Motherboard
AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (overclocked to run at 187x13 @ 1.82V)
2x256 pc3200 Mushkin DDR
Si-97 Heatsink with a 120mm blue LED fan
200GB Maxtor HDD (almost full 4gigs free)
Audigy 2 platinum using the optical line out
GF4 mx440 (soon to be replaced with a 9600xt once the rma finishes)
And a BenQ 15" LCD Screen (already mounted in dash), unfortunately its not touch screen, but the way its set up I like it this way
I use a trackball mouse and a wireless keyboard
Also have the new logitech wireless gamepad for games
What powers the speakers? I 90x6w home theater amp Yamaha RXV 450
Another unfortunate thing is that the sunfire had a premium sound system so the stock speakers were good enough to not have to worry about replacing them right away, but they are 4x6 and 6x9's, cant use in the accord.
So I'm stuck with the stock speakers up front (the right one is blown now) and the sunfires 6x9's ghetto mounted in the back because the stock 6.5's were destroyed in the back.
I run windows XP pro sp2, winamp and divx player. Ive got a ton of snes emulation in there and Half life 2 and sim city 4 are going in soon enough. I've got over 14000 songs in there, about 40% of which are ripped entirely by me in a lossless flac format for the most quality I can get (too bad the speakers cant keep up yet)
I've got an older RF Punch HE 200W sub/amp combo I put together and it sounds really good, this is back when RF made some decent stuff.
I do have a question though, what would you guys recommend for speakers? I will need 4 6.5" speakers and I'm quite the audiophile, so I was looking at MB Quart PCE216's for the front and I'm still not sure for the rear. It sounds alright in the accord but it was 10x better in the sunfire. I love the customization and control I have over this system and in the end it only costed me about 800 bucks canadian doing everything myself (twice technically) and it beats any dvd deck for price, functionality and I can play games on it.
Anyone else have a carputer?
