In this pic, I was testing the monitor to make sure it still works ( it didn't at first! ) You can see the frontend software that will be running when it's installed, it plays my mp3s, has integrated GPS, and a bunch of other sweet goodies that I'll prolly never use, but I really wanted the GPS cause I suck at directions, and the mp3 database is going to be sweet.
It's a 7" Liliput touchscreen monitor custom (obviously) molded into my radio bezel. (Which explains my faceplate being mounted in the sunvisor. )

Just wait till it's done. I'm REALLY looking forward to installing this thing. It's been a 2 year project, this is actually the 2nd version of the computer. The first version was a 10.5" kiosk PC that was actually from Madison Square Gardens being used as an electronic ticket booth (had a credit card reader originally, so I can only guess that's what it was used for). It was basically a celeron laptop with a touchscreen overlay on the LCD. Well, the motherboard was WAY too big for it. I had to buy a new motherboard, but then the touch and the LCD wouldn't work because they were proprietary screens, so I had to buy a new screen and yeah now it's almost done! When I finally install, I'll do a whole long thread on it, so keep your eyes open for the next week because I'm hoping to have it installed by Friday (dependant on the power supply for in the car arriving)
