I was also thinking about putting a carputer in the my contour aswell. I currently have a shuttle pc, which is a small form factor pc in a little box. It does have a slight case of heat issues bit it isn't bad. Celeron 1.3ghz, 512MBram, 40GB hdd.
I was also thinking along the lines of a 7" lilliput touchscreen because of it's value pricewise. With all these ideas swirling in my mind I am still pondering a way to install everything. Interesting post, Im looking forward to see some pics of the install
