So I was thinking of grabbing a Raspberry Pi and plugging it into my car via the VGA outlets. I wanted to use a bluetooth keyboard+track pad combo w/ a wifi dongle. Any thoughts or suggestions on this? I want it so I can have a clean library of my music & store videos (to be played while waiting in the parked position of course). I would be running XBMC onto it.

Has anyone done something similar to this? I want to do Raspberry Pi soley for its compact design & lack of heat generated. Suggestions? criticism?

SideNote:
I'll have to bypass my Video so it can be on while driving (solely for music purposes).
