I have a spare computer and i'm thinking about putting it into the celi, but I was wondering what kind of screen I should use and how much I can expect to pay for it. Also, what's the most efficient way of hooking up the power? Right now i'm thinking about something like this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1091100745000 but a better one. Please give me any suggestions, thanks.

to determine how many watts you need, you multiply the voltage by the amperage and that will give you wattage. So 12 volts x 2 amps = 24 watts. And when your looking for power inverters DO NOT buy from a retail store. I work at radioshack and a 300 watt 2 outlet inverter costs $99. I got a 300 watt 2 outlet power inverter from ebay for $22 shipped.
