superduty car computer touchscreen?

Anybody running a "carputer" in their superduty? What screen did you use in the double-din stereo opening and how do you like it?

I got an older thinkpad T22 laptop from a friend which I'm repairing (needs new mobo - loses cpu fan control - got one on ebay cheap). Then going to get a docking station. I already got a 12v to 16v power supply to run it.

If you've never heard of this stuff check out:

Do a search on google for "car pc".

Anyway, I figured a $200 laptop with decent power and getting a docking station (ebay cheap) would be a better solution than a dedicated car pc for $500+. If you install a $15 docking station in every vehicle you own you take your tunes with you.

Just need to find a decent computer fm tuner.

They make external usb or firewire dvd reader/writers too. Only your wallet and your imagination are limits.
