Very good post, though it could have used some carraige returns...
I think that the two systems are so different as to be beyond comparison. If you did have a crapload of money to spend on a hard drive / head unit / dvd player / monitor, and get it all looking good, it still wouldn't be able to play AVIs or go online.
Then again, PCs certainly don't have that always-on, buttons-and-dials feel you were talking about.
I know I'm putting a PC in my car because I enjoy working on stuff like that. I know I'll be the only person out there with a setup like mine, and I'll have done it all myself, without spending much. That's the thrill I get out of a project like this - after that's what it is, a project. It's one of those things where most of the fun is in the process of doing it, and not the result.
