Default DIY touch screen

so i have been looking into building a custom comp on a mini motherboard in my glove box. drill some small holes/fans for venting. and wire up an 8in touch screen into my dash. i know i can make the computer work but is there any other serious problems i would run into like wiring for the speakers, or any other ideas? im thinking a comp with itunes and tuning software built in could be pretty nice.

Your speakers & pc would be connected via an amplifier.

Overall I think you might have easier micro ITX board into the glove box and I like the idea of holes for venting.
