Computer Case Location
The brain of the Rugged Waves NMS is mounted under the drivers side seat in a custom plexi case.
Opus Solutions 150w DC-DC Power Supply
Power is supplied to the system from an Opus DC-DC Power Supply. This turns the computer on when the ignition is turned on and turns it off when the ignition is shut off via the builtin shutdown controller. It provides 150 watts which is enough for my system without any problems.
7" 16:9 VGA touchscreen LCD
This is one of the best screens out there, VGA & touchscreen. I molded it into the dash using fiberglass and bondo. Fabrication pics found here.
USB gamepad & keyboard
Tucked away in the glove box I have a flex keyboard and a gamepad for NES & SNES control.
PS/2 Trackpad Mouse
Sitting in what's left of the center console storage is teh trackpad used to control the mouse, most items are done with the remote or touchscreen though.
CoPilot Laptop 9
Something that I wondered if it would be worth the expense but it is! This is by far IMHO the best GPS software out there for computers. Instant updates for directions, Points of Interests (including food and entertainment) within X distance of your current location.
Front Bumper Cam
I added a front bumper cam to the Jeep. Soon there will be more including a backup cam and side cams.
