Hi,

Thanks for the advice.. here are some more questions..

Do I need to do anything to the screen or can I just leave it on.??? will it work with the laptop in the closed position or do I need to do something to it ?
I was also considering getting a motorized touchscreen deck that can accept an audio input, has radio, tv etc... and just plugging the headphone out off the laptop which would suffice as the deck would distribute outs to the front, rear, and sub.

You mention a docking station and extending the power button ... do I need both ??
I was also considering getting a pcmcia 4 four port usb 2.0 hub which I assume is powered similar to an external powered hub except by the laptop.
I would plugin the touchscreen matrix, gps rec, wireless nic into that hub.

One last thing, you mention "clean power"... an inverter taking it up to 110 then the transformer for the laptop bringing it down to 15V or whatever the voltage is... isn't good enough ?
