Car Computer / CarPC - Upcoming Build and Journal

Cool thread, subbed. I'm planning on doing a CarPC build, as soon as they release this bad boy: Raspberry Pi | An ARM GNU/Linux box for $25. Take a byte!

Computer is a Fujitsu P1620, and you have to do some trimming off the cooling vent mounts to get it to fit. I am working on a single plug connection to the car using a docking station as a wire harness donor. I am also looking at running all my audio/video on the computer and making the current head unit a second monitor. The touch screen on the Fujitsu is only active with a fingernail or something hard. I would make the second lower monitor (true finger on glass touch screen) a GUI for the most common functions. I am deployed 6 months out of the year so work has stopped for now.
