CARPUTER IN CAR PC VOOM VIA MII M2-ATX MINI ITX

I bought this off eBay last year and didn’t get round to fitting it. I’ve had it running all week and it runs with no problems. It will come with the harness to wire to your car (see pic). I will also supply the via motherboard, m2-atx power supply, manuals (pdf) and drivers which came with it (on CD not original). Centrafuse is the main excellent in car software program already installed (see pic). It is a fast pc and has the following spec:

40gb Hard drive (upgradable)

500mb Ram (upgradable)

1.20GHz Processor

Via EPIA MII 12000 motherboard

M2-ATX power supply

VoomPc enclosure

All the following software is already loaded & ready to use:

Windows XP Professional light service pack 2 (will run Linux)

MS Office 2003

Centrafuse GPS Navigation Bluetooth Handsfree Web Browsers All Media +more

Alcohol 120%

Power DVD

Virtual DJ

+ other usual software

NOT INCLUDED :

Keyboard & Mouse

GPS antenna

Bluetooth adapter

You will need to buy a usb GPS antenna to use the sat nav & a usb Bluetooth adapter to use a handsfree phone. Both are sold cheap on eBay. You will also need a touch screen monitor to use the pc in a car.

Here’s some info I found on the web:

VoomPC car PC enclosure

The voomPC automotive (car, boat, electric cart) enclosure is a small, rugged car PC (carputer) enclosure designed to work in harsh environments such as dust and high temperatures. Made our of massive 5.5mm extruded aluminium profile, the voomPC car PC (carputer) enclosure was designed to work with any type of mini-ITX motherboard (170x170mm) from fanless configurations such as VIA mini-ITX or Pentium or low power Pentium-M processors, making it the ideal car PC solution. This car PC / carputer enclosure is specifically designed to work with the M1/M2/M3/M4-ATX car PC automotive power supply series. Your ideal under the seat or trunk car computer.

The VoomPC car PC (carputer) enclosure can take one 2.5" hardrives.

Dimensions : 210(W)x254(L)x56(H)mm

M2-ATX power supply

Power challenges in a Vehicle PC

The 5V Standby Problem: One of most difficult tasks of operating a PC in a vehicle is power consumption while the computer is OFF. Even when your computer is OFF or in Suspend, it will still consume about 50-150mA on the 5VSB rail. No matter how big your battery is, you will eventually drain it if proper actions are not taken. The M2-ATX is addressing these issues by cutting off the 5VSB rail after a pre-defined amount of time (see jumper chart,HARDOFF). When 5VSB is always active (HARDOFF=Never), M2-ATX constantly monitors the battery levels. When battery level drops below 11V for more than one minute, M2-ATX will shut down and re-activate only when the input voltage is > 12V. Engine Cranks, under-voltage and over-voltage situations. Another difficult task is maintaining stable 3.3V, 5V, 12V and -12V power to your PC. While car batteries are rated at 12V, they actually provide voltages in between 7-16V (engine cranks) or as high as 80 volts (load dump). Most of the times, your battery will stay at 13.5V (while car is running) but extra precautions need to take place in order to prevent such situations. M2-ATX can operate as low as 6V and as high as 28V while providing strict regulation on all rails along with input voltage clamping and reverse protection. Loud amplifier pops when PC starts. If your PC is connected to your car amplifier, you will hear a loud pop when the computer

is first started. The M2-ATX has an .anti-thump. control that will keep your amp OFF while the PC starts. Simply connect J6 to your amplifier remote control pins to activate the .anti-thump. feature.
