Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Basic but good starting point.If you've ever built a computer, the first part of the book is mostly a review. However, the author does introduce a few nuances that come with putting a pc in a car. The second part of the book is very helpful in presenting ideas and products that can be used.

The book has no referance to that material at all. I was hoping to get that. Other then this it has great stuff in it. Rating: - Does it make sense for you to have a car PC?The first thing that I thought when I saw this book was why would I want to build a car PC. Then I picked up the book and the first chapter was titled 'Why would I want to build a Car PC.' The first reasons that he gives have to do with entertainment: replace your radio with satellite or audio jutebox, add television and a DVD player.
