Where should i put it? money is not a concern so a costom case to fit it where i need it is fine, but i intend to put at least a single 12" subwoofer in the trunk area where the T-Tops would go (since i dont have T-Tops) but where can i put my computer? any suggestions? has anyone done this here?
exactly.. i want people to still be able to sit in the car, im thinking maybe i could mount it in between the middle of the back seats, whats under there? i dont wanna start drilling holes and poke something important.. :P
I'm not sure. Under the carpet is just metal. Uhh. Go under and have a friend up to and knock where you want to drill, see if anything important is. I don't know if firebird interior is the same as camaro, but you can mount it on the side of the AC thing. I'll add a pic of where later.
What I plan to do with mine is to put it in the compartment where my rear "glove box" used to be behind the driver's rear wheel. You'll need a KVM switch to do this, however, as you'll need a lot more than 6 feet of monitor control cables as well as power and ground to the PC.
BTW, under the hump between the rear seats is mostly nothing important. Just don't hit the fuel pump wiring running down the middle. However, why would you put a PC there? That just about guarantees a break-in (looks a lot like a CD changer from a distance, right?).

Project Raven is on hold... She's a body shell with a rather large collection of parts. 1987 Pontiac Firebird, T-top, 1991 VIN T engine, getting MegaSquirted. 85 T-5 5-Speed manual trans. Hybrid 3100 V6 swap nearly complete, too much body work to do first . Restomod in progress. So many parts to replace, so little money .
That's a good point. Even if they do break in, insurance money! They'llgive you a lot for the window, just go to the junkyard for the window, pay like 50 bucks, and they will give you the money for the computer, just buy the computer and the window and pocket the rest.
oh ****, didnt even think of that area in the back, i got one side occupied by the spare tire, the other side is completely empty, i could just skeleton the machine, run the power supply unit outside the box mounted on the carpet, and all that jazz. great idea! ill check it out!
