I have seen the car it looks great and the Mac mini is a perfect match. Apple should advertise the Mac mini as a carputer as well the size makes it a perfect match

I tried making a carputer a few years ago. (failed miserably thanks to $$!)
The biggest obstacles I came into were control and power. Using a power inverter the display was dirty, meaning there was distortion thanks to not being grounded. I looked into a power supply that hooked right into the engine, but way too much work for me.
I would consider the mac mini in my car if I could make it reasonably plug and play. Would be hella sweet if it were similar to this guys set up.

are there any problems with the vibrations and bumps that it would undoubtedly experience in a car?
