Default Custom laptop holders?

I have just integrated my laptop sound system into my car stereo and I saw that afterthoughts is about to make a laptop desk for the car that swivels and it looks great. The only problem is that it will be around 230.00. I want to be able to make some kind of setup to hold my laptop in place, so i can play dvd's and mp3's, etc. Have any of you made a laptop holder for your car? If so, i would like suggestions and pics if ya could...Thanks

btw: is there a cig. charger adapter for a laptop for sale anywhere?

It needs to be easily reachable so I dont have to lean all over the place to get to it and i still need a passenger seat <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
