Ok a lot of you have been asking for pix of my computer setup. I got the computer semi-finalized (still the second wireless connection is not in,) updated, and installed.

There are pix available here: http://www.citrano.com/car/pix/i30.html

You can see the basic setup and components.

NOTE: Some of the exterior pix are from last fall, I have since removed the pinstripe, but that's about it.

I managed to almost completely drain my YellowTop today testing the computer -- so I had to run it off house current for a while until the YellowTop got back up to a level where the inverter would turn back on. Wow. Now I know the YellowTop does have a limit...

I finally diagnosed the "bump" problem. Some of you remember when I hit a bump the computer would re-boot. I was blaming the disk drive. I took the computer inside and opened it up and basically ran Winamp and started tapping and vibrating each component. I found to my surprise that it was actually one of my DIMMs. I removed the DIMM and now the thing can take some abuse.

I also managed to super glue my fingers together, working on the CRAPPY dash piece, OH how it bugs me. Oh well all is cool now and things are working.

Hope you enjoy the pix.

later
