Install PC under passenger seat (IS300)?

by jimxms, 13-04-2019, 05:43 PM

Today Mr postie delivered me some goodies in the form of a fanless 'embedded PC' and a 7" optically bonded touchscreen monitor.

I've already ripped the 7" screen apart and fitted it to my motorised housing, but now comes the hard bit...

The PC is fairly large (250x195x50) and test fitting in the glove box looks to be less than ideal (although not impossible). So I've been trying to think of other places to put it.

Would under the passenger seat work? I'm not sure how much space is under there or if I could even pick power up from that area?

Ideas/suggestions?

Cheers

Hello to all

by lebon, 13-04-2019, 08:19 AM

Hi All,
Joined the forum a few weeks ago, I have a Lexus is250 se-l mm.Had the car now for just over a year now, before anyone asks for pictures, I will post them once I have resloved the issues I am having with the car for the last 4 months as I am the point of totally regreating buying the car. Had the track rod end/oxygen sensors and now the steering rack replaced,oh and the 4 tyres too but still have issues with driving. At speeds under 60 it feels good anything above 60 it feels like the car is 'floating' ie the car does not feel planted. Been to WIM to get geo done too cured the tramling to a certain extend but the nervousness at high speeds remains. Has anyone had a similar problems or has anyone any suggestions. Thank you

Dear Mr. Cameron,



Please find below our suggestion for fixing England's economy.



Instead of giving billions of pounds to banks that will squander the
money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan.



You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:



There are about 10 million people over 50 in the work force.



Pay them £1 million each severance for early retirement with the
following stipulations:



1) They MUST retire.


Ten million job openings - unemployment fixed


2) They MUST buy a new British car.



Ten million cars ordered - Car Industry fixed


3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage -



Housing Crisis fixed


4) They MUST send their kids to school/college/university -



Crime rate fixed



5) They MUST buy £100 WORTH of alcohol/tobacco a week .....



and there's your money back in duty/tax etc


6) Instead of stuffing around with the carbon emissions trading scheme
that makes us pay for the major polluters, tell the greedy ******** to
reduce their pollution emissions by 75% within 5 years or we shut them
down.



It can't get any easier than that!



P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of parliament pay back
their falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances



If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know.

If not, please disregard.



Grumpies of the World Unite



Let's put the pensioners in jail and the criminals in a nursing
home.

This way the pensioners would have access to showers, hobbies and
walks.

They'd receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical
treatment, wheel chairs etc and they'd receive money instead of paying
it out

They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped
instantly, if they fell, or needed assistance.

Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed
and returned to them.

A guard would check on them every 20 minutes and bring their meals and
snacks to their cell.

They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose.

They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual
counseling, pool and education

Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, PJ's and legal aid would be free, on
request.

Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard, with
gardens.

Each senior could have a PC a TV radio and daily phone calls.

There would be a board of directors to hear complaints, and the guards
would have a code of conduct that would be strictly adhered to.

The criminals would get cold food, be left all alone and unsupervised.
Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week. Live in a tiny room and
pay £600.00 per week and have no hope of ever getting out.



Think about this (more points of contention):


------------------------------------------------------------------------

COWS

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the
mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in
Appleby almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in
the county of Cumbria?

And, they even tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are
unable to locate 125,000 illegal immigrants wandering around our
country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.


------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE BRITISH CONSTITUTION They keep talking about drafting a
Constitution for Iraq ... Why don't we just give them ours?

It was drawn up by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for
centuries and we're not using it anymore.


------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS

The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a
courthouse or Parliament, is this -

You cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal', 'Thou Shalt Not Commit
Adultery' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers,
judges and politicians..... It creates a hostile work environment.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also;

Think about this .. If you don't want to forward this for fear of
offending someone -- YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM! It is time for us
grumpy old folk of Britain to speak up!

Margaret & bert

by BOOSST, 12-04-2019, 05:38 PM

Bert always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so, seeing some on sale, he bought them and wore them home.

Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife, "Notice anything different about me?"

Margaret looked him over. "Nope."

Frustrated, Bert stormed off into the bathroom, undressed and walked back into the kitchen completely naked except for the boots.

Again he asked Margaret, a little louder this time, "Notice anything different NOW?"

Margaret looked up and said in her best deadpan, "Bert, what's different? It's hanging down today, it was hanging down yesterday, it'll be hanging down again tomorrow."

Furious, Bert yelled, "AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT'S HANGING DOWN, MARGARET?"

"Nope. Not a clue", she replied.

"IT'S HANGING DOWN, BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS!!!!"

Without missing a beat Margaret replied, "Shoulda bought a hat, Bert. Shoulda bought a hat."

by BOOSST, 12-04-2019, 04:46 PM

Not quiet the crisp circle i was hoping for, but lovely and bright all the same..

Side Lights


Braking


I have some options on how the braking looks, can have all 4 simply as circles or have all 4 full when they brake instead of just the outer two...
