Just finished the install of my Car PC. I was having some cooling issues, so I added a large external fan to help the problem. If that doesn't work, I'll vent air to the PC via a vinyl hose. The PC is a Jetway CIA C7 on MINI ITX board with 1 GB memory and 160 sata drive, DVD/CD drive mounted in a VOOMPC 2 case. I mounted the case behind the passenger seat (which is the old stock location for the earlier Miata's ECU.) The case is velcro'd to the carpet and doesn't budge at all and has the added benefit of being shock resistant by not be hard mounted to the frame. The screen is a Xenarc 7" touchscreen mounted into the stock Miata bezel ring. Fits perfectly with only some minor trimming of the monitor bezel. The system has Sirius, HD Radio, IPOD, Navigation, OBD2 interface. There are hundreds of plug ins available for the Centrafuse front end, including trip computer, tire pressure / temp monitors, gas calculators and so on. In total, I spent about 800.00 on the whole thing, which is still cheaper than some of the top end touch screen systems that are available as front end installs, but they don't have nearly as many features or the ability to expand like a CarPC install does.
