Thinkin about it i spose i'd need some sort of cable that converts IDE cable to RCA plugs??
Am i somewhere around the mark???
Do they even make those plugs??

no thats not possible, you're not going to convert the ide signal to rca unless you had a full computer with a tv out.

Thanx for that Maz, spose it means i'm gunna need an inverter and PS2....ahh well still plenty of fun to be had, hopefully be able to show everyone friday night....*Fingers Crossed*

you either need a full computer or a stand alone dvd player such as the ps2.

Grr... wish i could come on friday, just got the carputer finished and working! I Could show you why you should go the full PC!

why do ppl use ps2's in their cars when an XBOX has a internal HDD and can hold upto like 50 cd's ?? my mate has one in his r33 skyline and its wicked! he uses that offa tv and its visualisations and stuff are wicked
