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.

why so many fans? that's just going to draw excess power and make a lot of extra noise. computers generally don't run that hot, especially one that's going to be used in a car application. yes it should be well-ventilated but 2 fans should do it very well. it's not like you're going to be running hardcore games and whatnot on it that's going to cause it to heat up. and the lights, eh well to each their own. if i put a computer in a car it would be hidden away where you cant see or hear it and just the output to the touch screen and speakers.
why not just take a standard cool looking small computer case, airbrush it or somethin so it looks cool and make custom mounts/wiring harness for it so it's removable like you want, but sits in it's place looking very sleek while in the car? i think it would work just as well -------------------- 1999 Celica GT
