Well I have since cleaned up the "wires", gotta get pics come daylight. The wires were for the computer, but since have put in a full 6 switch switchbox that I had laying around to run the power for the laptop, now a flip of the switch and it charges. As far as why I have a laptop mounted in there, Why Not? lol , I am in my truck most of the time and do alot of driving. So its nice to have a laptop mounted to access internet or other things. The mount I had laying around and the laptop recently got for a trade. So why not! lol
