computer setup in 95

[st3v3n96]

I just bought my brothers Tahoe and im planning to do a computer in it. right now there is the stock dash for the 95. im gonna put in the dash of a 98 Tahoe with the airbag pocket. I was wondering if a mini desktop is small enough for that pocket. I just need to get the computer in there with the case on. I will run a separate power switch to the bezel area. if anybody has done something like this I would appreciate any help. if you have pictures or links that would be very helpful. thank you

That is interesting. I would put the "carputer" in the console myself.... Seen several installs of those in custom consoles that took alot of work and ended up looking like what is stock in these trucks.... U running an ITX chassis with a 12v DC to DC supply? What are you going to do for a display? Inputs?

I dont think a mini desktop would fit inside the air bag area of a 97+ dash tho.....

well I could just put the computer in the back or something. what im gonna do is put in a spare battery in specifically for the computer and im gonna run the cables to the touchscreen radio for the display(im doing a double din install for a touchscreen).

Getcha one of those diode blockers to separate the 2 batteries and charge off the one alternator.....

If you are doing double din.... http://store.mp3car.com/ProductDeta...432d3034314d&gclid=CPnQzoblirgCFQsV7AoddGIAnQ
