Antarctica! Well My attempts will just be a dream for now, I'll stick to modding my Computer til I got the money for the car I want then the Carputer will be created!! Also since tech nology seems to be getting smaller, Cheaper, Faster and more eco friendly I'm sure by the time I start it'll be as cheap as chips. Goodluck and keep us Updated as will I!

As I mentioned, other touchscreen monitors I were looking at could only handle -10ºC, but the one you linked could handle -30ºC which should fare a bit better. Although it does dip down to -40ºC over here sometimes, it's not as common so this might do the trick. Good luck with your carputer efforts as well! Thanks for sharing this.

Where I live, the temperatures can sometimes reach -40ºC and a lot of the screens I was looking at could only handle something like -10ºC so I gave up on the project for now until I'm able to obtain a touchscreen LCD that could handle the cold temperatures.

I would to see the finished project, I want to build a mini-itx computer into a car and I've been looking into others builds, the whole power management system seems very complicated but I am determined to have a good crack at it!

Once I find a job in the summer I'll definitely pick this up again. Unfortunately it’s on hiatus as I don’t have the funds to buy the hardware for it nor the time to develop it any further.
