Computer Monitor under the hood.

By: Chris 02/17/2023

I am installing a computer monitor under the hood with a hand held key board and mouse pad so I don't have to be in the car while using engine tuning programs. Plus it's just cool having a monitor under the hood for car shows as well. The monitor is getting it's screen from a SONY VAIO VPCEB42FX laptop I have built. I installed an Intel Core i7 duel core running at 2.40GHz with 4 threads, 8GB DDR3 ram, and I replaced the disc drive with another hard drive for more room and to dedicate some of it for ReadyBoost. The laptop is being installed under the driver seat with a custom laptop cooler connected to the bottom of it to make sure it never over heats. I am also installing 2 heat resistant and water proof cameras under the hood so I can see the engine while it's running. After getting everything running how I like it

I plan to make a housing for the monitor and have a fan behind it to keep the temp down.
