LCD screen questions Options

[wuhukf]

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.

Thats true, I was just afraid of the heat from summer time and I thought it would circulate bettter. What i really want this to do is play videos, music, gps, go online, maybe make phone calls with a bluetooth cell phone, and maybe play games through a game system such as gamecube or something for the passengers.

well thanks to you i'm working on pulling apart an old laptop to try mounting in my car haha. i've got a gyroscopic wireless mouse i'll use to control it for now until i can locate a touch screen, but you've got some good ideas

as for playing cube and stuff it would be easier to feed the cube straight into your LCD rather than through the computer, you will get a lot higher quality picture etc etc

here's my project:
I'm going to pull the screen off my OLD laptop and solder in wire extensions to the screen so it can mount up on the dash while the laptop runs in the glove box with the power adapter. the wireless keyboard and mouse reciever will be under the dash and the keyboard and mouse will be in the computer

WIRELESS MOUSE AND KEYBOARD HERE

those are an awesome set for an application like this. th emouse you can just hold in the air and point with your wrist it's really cool.
