Install An Xbox/Linux Media System In Your Car

Posted by timothy on from the after-all-why-not dept.

AltGrendel writes "Bored during those rush-hour traffic jams? An enterprising UK geek has installed an Xbox/Linux system in his car. With a mod chip, Freevo, a LogiTech Wingman, and a 40 gig hard drive, he has access to music, video, and games during drive time. Details and pictures are here."

    All this has been done before. If I run a dreamcast memory chip server from my car, will I be the center of attention on /. despit it already having been done?

    "Enterprising"? He's a loser, as are the rest of the losers who voluntarily sit in cages in traffic for hours every day.

    Somewhere around 1% of the readers of this will know exactly what I'm talking about. I'm happy for the other 99% of sheep to sit where they are and keep out of my way as I thoroughly enjoy my commute.

    Yeah...especially when this guy needs to have a car fast enough to outrun those "Africans." Pft...who would have thought that they would get angry when you called them niggers? Crazy...

    It's not an American car you dumb fucking rednecked relative of GW Bush. The car in question is a Rover 400 series. THe red button under the temp control is for the Aircon. How do I know this? BECAUSE I OWN ONE. The manufacturer badge on the car mat and steering wheel is a viking ship..the badge of the ROVER CAR GROUP. THe car is British, the guy is British. Yanks are crap at I.C.E..get over it.
