Nah, the guy had built a PC in his Vanagon... it had a 7 inch TFT touchscreen, remote and the actual computer was housed in one of his Westy cabnets. I think I remember him calling it the Knight Bus, but I am not 100% sure. He also had an onboard GPS through the USB port on the computer. The thing was darn sweet. He linked to this site as where he bought the monitor, and said it was a Mini-ITX platform with the VIA Tech EPIA M board. He also mentioned that he moded a box before he found the ones already set up for use in an auto (12volt preloaded powersupply)

Thanks for the help so far... it has my gears turning. -Dawn
