Alright guys, as you can see this is my first post, but I have been browsing these forums for a while. Now, I need your help! Now, I want to make a carputer, but to be honest, I don't know how I should be doing this. How can I get/make a converter for the power? Are there any touch screen monitors (5"-10") that I can use? Can/Should I use a PS1 screen? What specs should I be using for a carputer? Should I hook it up with wireless internet to download music while in the driveway, or should I have a portable HDD? Thanks ahead of time! Here is a pic of the interior, if you have any ideas where I should/could put the screen, let me know.
