Why did you let that ugly bloke sit in your car for the pics?

No need to buy the magazine I can read the writing from the scans. Well done on the free advertisement :D

[nicky munchkin]

Nobody can put a price on that.

Well done on getting featured though, and thanks for the plug ;)

Bet it looks even better now if you get the Centrafuse 1.4x updates on, the new interface looks terrific.

And there's a huge amount you can do with these in the car... let's face it, you can get a tomtom for next to nothing now, and mp3 capable headunits are commonplace now - it's the neatness of integration that makes the PC system so great.

Instead of having bluetooth , satnav and your music fighting against each other, in one system it all works together nicely. For instance, Centrafuse will pause your music to speak out text messages to you, and being able to use the larger touchscreen for email or internet access (when you're parked, obviously) is so much better than any mobile device.

Not to mention support for running other Windows apps, adding reversing cameras (or even front mounted cameras for one of our customers, since it can be used to record to hard disk), engine management and performance recording, and being able to synchronise your media collection over Wifi.

There's really an endless amount of possibilities with this concept and it's definitely going to be a more common trend. 10 years ago, people couldn't imagine a PC in the living room and look how much that's taken on now...

I'm writing another Car PC article for our site soon as admittedly the one I did a while back only scratches the surface of what's possible, I still see it as an exciting growth area.

[Graeme*Kustom*]

I think the Aura skin is selectable in 1.42 from the general settings menu, but it only becomes the default skin in the latest versions.
