I have an 01 superduty with a center console and ended up creating a bracket to support the monitor that also allows me to retract it into the console to hide it. This makes the truck interior look stock. The truckputer is under the passenger seat. I still have some exposed wiring, but I'm slowly hiding more and more of that. Eventually the truckputer will be moved under the rear seat. I started small with a pocket pc with gps software and 1 gb of music. This served well, but left me longing for more. Thus, the full size pc.

You didn't mention if you will be using the stock (or aftermarket) headunit. I kept mine since the truck came with premium sound and connect using a PIE interface.

Good luck. This is very interesting and lots of fun since it takes a lot of effort in a lot of different areas (computers, programming, electronics, fabrication and lots of imagination).
