An enterprising Russian hacker has ripped apart both his car's dashboard and his Eee PC (701G) and recombined them into a rather excellent in-car computer. It's no simple mod, either: The perpetrator, named Dali, added a USB touchscreen, USB Bluetooth, a USB GPS unit (plus, of course, a USB hub), and a wireless keyboard and joystick mouse.
The result is a location-aware entertainment system running what looks like a skinned version of Windows XP -- enough to distract even the most focussed driver. While the result is undoubtedly very professional looking (the fit and finish makes this look like a factory-added option), it wasn't easy. Take a look at the step by step photo gallery to see the work that went into this mod. And while you're there, please note the absolutely huge heat-sink on the Eee's motherboard.
