era appropriate computer monitor
This may be a new one.. has anyone tried to install a computer monitor for an onboard windows/linux PC in their 67-72?
In particular, I wonder if anyone has tried to make it look like it belongs in a truck of this era. I was thinking of either using an early 80's monitor case with a modern VGA CRT installed, or a late 60's early 70's TV case with a VGA screen.. maybe install an 8-track and CB radio next to it to complete the look. There are lots of reasons to have a PC in your truck now- thousands of hours of music in MP3 for starters, plus real time maps with a $50 GPS module, access to the internet through your cell phone for internet radio, traffic maps, remote access to work, etc, etc.. ![]() If anyone out there has tried this, I'd be very interested in seeing some photos. I used to have a pentium-90 in my '87 suburban back when a pentium-90 was a fast computer.. ![]() -patrick PS - if you think that is crazy, google for that guy who installed a 1500 watt inverter and a (house) windows unit AC in his toyota.. claims it works very well.. I'm half tempted to install a toaster oven in my glove box just to bug my friend who keeps giving me a hard time about wanting a PC in my truck.. ![]() |
