alright so after some more researching and looking around, I found the dww-6500 from digitalww, this item seemed like the perfect fit for this project, its priced reasonably and also I think its just exactly what I needed. But I wanted to have a few things clarified before I pull the trigger.

So this unit comes with the motorized lcd and a dvd drive, with built in amp and am/fm tunner and also support a USB connection to control the touch screen from a computer. So if iam understanding this correctly, the system will function as a stand alone out of the box unit right? As in it has its proprietary software built in that will play music and such. So suppose I was to connect a computer to it, I can run whatever software but just from the computer. Is there any way to integrate the tuner and connect it to the computer so everything can be controlled from one software sitting on the computer.

In a nut shell, I guess the question would be, could I put a pico-itx board in that case with a SSD and maybe bluebooth dongle and gps dongle. And maybe gut the hardware already in the case besides the tuner and am and in the end use the monitor to control everything software based on the computer including the radio.

In the end I guess what I really want out of the dw-6500 is the screen thats motorized with the built in cd/dvd drive and the tuner and amp. I dont need any of their other software.
