As soon as I get a job I'm planning on a car PC w/ touch screen, gps, diagnostic, etc so thanks for the links. I'm thinking nano-ITX with wireless mini keyboard in the glove compartment Chris Black Ebony/Greystone 1998.5 V6 SE MTX

I just sold my Toshiba A65 for cheap (it wasn't docking station compatible and was a bit larger than I'd like). I'm hoping to get a Thinkpad X series with docking station, mount the dock in the trunk, and get a carputer setup with it, GPS, and OBD-II. One of my friends has this setup in his Escape with an HP laptop. Matthew 2000 Nissan Maxima SE Sold: 98.5 Contour SE V6 ATX
