Welcome to Truckputer.com this site is a chronological recording of my Ram 1500 truckputer project. The goal is to document the progress from installation to regular upgrades of the system and truck, as well as inspire others to pursue carputing for them selves.
Update #1: Terror byte of daterz
Submitted by Nick on Mon, 03/30/2009 - 01:53
I recently came across a spare 1 terabyte external hard drive from Maxtor that I bought a while back for a steal of a deal... I loaded ~80 movies and a few hundred hours of music on the terrorbyte with about 700GB of available storage bliss.
After pretending to do research regarding the effects of horizontal and vertical vibrations and shock to a hard drive in a vehicle, I concluded that bungee cording the drive at a 45 degree angel firmly to a fixed portion of the frame would provide adequate fault resistance.
