auto computer systems

Just curious, does anyone have any computer systems built into their trucks?

I'm working on building one into mine, hopefully I can use it for wireless internet access and work on projects on the go. I can also control verious things in the truck through a wireless network, and copy songs to my truck without leaving my office, so they'll be there when I go to leave.

Just wondered what you guys have done with custom electronics in your autos.

I doubt the normal home pc electronics can handle the temps that car audio can. If you gonna add bass I dont think the solder will hold either. i could be wrong tho but I wouldn't try it with a bass over 75watts. JMO

Yep, I knew some people were, a friend of mine is also building a car PC. So far, I haven't seen many problems regarding excezive heat (or cold). I was just wondering if there was anyone at this site interested in high tech auto electronics.
