Hi Guys

Roderic has done this with a media player, i've seen plenty in other cars.

Do a google search, I seem to remember a big forum devoted to this. :?
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

I can't remember the name of the big US forums I used to read, but for a more Australian touch try MEA

When I first started working for a touchscreen company a few years ago I was playing about with a 15" touchscreen hooked up to a 12v mini itx based PC. I never actually got it in the car but the idea didn't seem that complicated to get a basic system going.
