I was kicking around the idea of doing an indash LCD screen with VGA input and mounting a small PC somewhere in the vehicle. A few guys have done with with their Lightnings I know. Then I was thinking, what about doing one of these new Tablet PC's. The more I look at it, the more I want to do it. I wouldn't perm mount it, I would do some sort of docking station (talk about a detachable face plate!). They are a little pricey right now and I'm not sure I want version 1.0, but it something I'm going to watch very closely.

I was thinking of converting the front console so that it could be lifted the opposite way as well as normal (another hinge at the front). That way a fairly large flat screen could be mounted inside. This would only need to have the standard 3-plug audio video connections. Then I could mount my Xbox to allow the passengers in back to play games and watch DVDs.

Just another "cool" idea

 

check out dogleg's truck! now that is an awsome setup!
be cool if you could set it up in the console though. if you have enough $$$, anythings possible

 

Harley#356 - I couldn't find Dogleg's gallery besides his fuel door pics. Do you have a link? Thanks.

he's running window's xp in his L. now that is one awsome custom setup!

I love the looks of his dash. The Tablet PC is basically Windows XP with a touch screen and software to make it pen/touch friendly. I think it could work nicely in this situation.

if you do anything. definately post some pics! a HD with a computer system in it would be pretty cool
