It works like a Swiss clock lol

Thanks everybody, I appreciate your comments

I think your setup is amazing. It looks 50x better than a flip out screen imo. Don't clutter the clean look you have now with a full sized keyboard. Get this instead, I bought one for my media center pc and love it. Logitech diNovo Mini Palm Sized Bluetooth Keyboard For TV PC Hook Ups TFTS - Technology, Gadgets & Curiosities

Congratulations! Very well done.

Looks like my quest to be the first to integrate a PC is gone, but I'll hopefully be done with mine by the end of the month.

We should've compared notes because I pretty much replaced my entire system by the time I was done. I hope mine comes out as well.

@Indy Joe
I am actually not the first one to build an SLK carputer, there is a guy in this forum called ernie I think, he was the first as far as I know, but his approach was different, he placed the LCD on the cup holder and the computer case in the centre of the spare tire. I think my approach gives a more factory look.

@JoeyRindone
I know that keyboard, it is 150$+, very expensive but cool, My motherboard however needs a keyboard hooked for startup, and as you know this is a bluetooth keyboard, so probably it will not work for me unless if I keep the electric circuit of my chunky keyboard hooked in order to fool the system hehe :P

My next step is to find a decent car alarm that has a lot of capabilities, I wish someone could give us more information about the stock SLK230 alarm system or about their experience upgrading it

That's a good question about the oem car alarm. I haven't seen anything on it, but you could start a seperate thread asking about it...

Let me know when you are done with yours - I'd like to get a first hand look - still debating on whether or not to mess up my interior...
