Not too sure how to go about getting an incar PC yet, thats what I need to find out

my current Laptop has an in car adaptor, so I guess that bolted underneath the passenger seat (or boot) with a Touch Screen LCD in the dash

Its a works laptop but is currently being sold, as Im getting a new one, so I may buy my works laptop for this very purpose

Have a good long read of http://www.mp3car.com forums.

These guys are building madly all hours of the day and night.
It's where I got my inspiration for a built in touchscreen 10" TFT in the lower console of the old Saab.
