DeLorean Mac Mini

Mini On Hood
Ryan writes - "I have always wanted to put a Macintosh-based computer into my DeLorean. Today, you can read about how I made that a reality. This project involved more than just a carputer. This is the merging of an automotive environment and a computing environment. This creates a portable office in your DeLorean. Not just a drive-in movie theater, but a drivable drive-in movie theater. Sound like fun? It is, but challenges along the way have made this ambitious project push the limits on my electronic and fabrication talents." - Link.

As a carputer maker, I take offence to his constant dissing of 7 inch lilliputs. Yeah, its small, but i can see/use it while driving :P

Cool use of a unique car feature (the reverse hood) but overall if you have a projector in a car, why not project on a nice big blank wall instead?
