Have you geeked out your car? Added USB ports, a computer, or what ever? Post pics

I want to add 3+ USB ports to the ash tray drop down thing. Nice hiding place, and it'll let me charge USB powered electronics on the go.

I would put the ports in like you said instead of using an adapter, looks much cooler and doesn't tie up one of your cig plugs!

and not to be off topic or anything but WOOHOO 500TH POST!!!!!

The beast: link doesn't work, brings me back to this page..

But I would custom install them by taking apart one of the adaptars and make a panel, attach them, and some how put them in the ash tray

Was wondering if anyone else did anything else like this?

I have one usb... lol that'd be pretty sick to put a computer in. I was throwing around that idea especially some of the newer desktop computers could fit right in the glove box

It would be pretty easy to fit a mac in a custom center console... or even mount it sideways, I have thought of this, but I am unsure on how to power it, I do have a 22in monitor that would be pretty badass mounted in there, but no small mac to power it currently... maybe mount my xbox in there?

But yea, I have thought about it, but currently do not have enough said funds....

Being the geek that I am, I've seen some really small computers like the one above

or this



Not exactly an i7 power house but it should run Linux, maybe window XP. And it should run iTunes, WMP.... and other basic programs.


+ here's a couple of touchscreens that run off USB instead of VGA or DVI
