04+ Overhead Video Options?

I want to get an overhead monitor.. I like Ford's drop-down rail add-on, but at $700 its kind of pricey..

Are there any other "Ford Rail" friendly? What have the rest of you been doing?

I have the Ford Overhead rail, but didn't want to pay the premium price for OEM install, so I went to a custom stereo shop and purchased a regular 7" monitor (Farenheit). $250 on clearance...I then have the Kenwood 717 HU with the built in DVD player. I have the Alpine 9965 on order. The shop manufactured a bracket and it fits perfectly between the rails. I think it looks great. One thing to be warned about. Not sure I've heard it before, but I didn't have the power/accessory box up in hte headliner, so therefore, they had a bit more of a custom install than orginally expected.

Which one? There's a ton of them on that page.. Did you buy from LightAV? I have them in my favorites, but wasn't sure how reputable they are..
