Meissen's CarPC (Two Installed and Running Pictures, 56k warning)
As promised, the major part of it is finished: it's been test fitted and mounted. Now I just need the power supply to come so I can actually wire it up, but here's pictures of it installed. I'll come back and post pictures of it on when the power supply comes and I have that wired (that should only take an hour to do).
Things to comment on before someone else does, I need a new knee bolster, so don't comment on the horrid edge of the knee bolster. That was the result of the previous, 10.5" touchscreen bezel. I had to dremel the edge of the knee bolster panel to make room for the 10.5" touchscreen's bezel, and now that this one is based off the stock one, there's the gap and an ugly edge. I'm buying a new panel ASAP. Oh, and yes, I know I need to hide the wires under it.

What...............are you new?????? That looks like crap! Wanna make mine look like crap too? 
Really, nice work. I wouldn't have the patience needed to do that. Now get to work and get it wired up already.

The gauges are one of the first things everyone always compliments on when I'm at car shows, it ties in with the flamed dash pad that I have. I'll never get rid of the gauges, I love them. 
Thanks for the compliments, I'm just as anxious to get it lit up too! I ordered the power supply on the 9th. I looked at his feedback ratings, and normally people leave feedback (meaning they obviously got it) within 10 to 14 days, so I'm guessing it's going to take 10 to 14 days to get here. I was REALLY hoping to have it by today, but if I get it tomorrow I'll be happy. If it doesn't come tomorrow, I'll be pissed and emailing the seller asking for tracking numbers and more information or else I'll file a complaint with ebay. I'm anxious.
