I swear to god Darque, you are the least helpful indiviudal on this forum. I havent been on this forum for 3 months and all I ever see is you telling people not to do things. Do you ever help, or are the 4000 posts like a badge of honor in the line of "duty"??? This guy has a legitimate question, that other obviously also have...we all know how much noobies suck and all, but everyone has to sart somewhere. Just my two cents.

I'm contemplating a project in my '03 Toyota Tacoma extended cab. I'd want the carputer to do more than just dish up MP3s.
I'm also a gamer. Soooo.

1) Using a traditional ATX setup with a decent AGP 3D card. Anyone have any experience?

2) Also, I'd like to do some sort of dual-monitor setup, possibly using ATI's dual-head solution. One would be a smaller touchscreen near the dash to control the system, and the other would be a larger display for GPS navigation, MP3 visuals, DVD output, etc. Do any of the overhead monitors accept SVGA or DVI input?

3) Some sort of LCD display on the dash for control. I'd also like USB ports on the dash, as well. The Matrix Orbital products look good, but space may be an issue. Any input?

4) I'm also looking into some sort KVM switch (using only the video) to be able to plug in a regular monitor. Thoughts? Ideas?

The concept is to be able to drive up to a LAN party, plug into the network, plug in a monitor and game on. The idea of an RJ-45 behind the gas filler door sounds cool, as well.

There's a well where the tools reside presently behind the passenger seat. I think I may be able to squeeze a micto-ATX board and components in there. The cover would make a handy template for a plexi window, with some lights behind it, I think.

Like I said. Right now, it's just concept, nothing more.
