5.6" TFT/LCD Monitor 5688???

Ok so I am just starting out with my car computer and Just to get the ball rolling to get the feel for an LCD in my car I am planning on using this one ...
http://www.merconnet.com/products.php?ProductID=97

I know its not the best in the world but will it do for the time being... I ordered a 5.6/5.8 Touch Screen for it from Digital Worldwide.

Maybe if some of yous could give me a couple of pros and cons you see by looking at the specs that would help... I dont have a problem buying another one(LCD). I was just trying to get the idea of how big I can go in my Freelander without seriously taking up a lot of space...

Planned parts to use so far are the Opus 150 Watt PS, EPIA VIA M10000, of course this LCD screen above, 512 MB DDR, 200 Gig Hard Drive, 8x Cheap Internal DVD Rom drive and a Linksys Wireless Adapter.

Does this sound good to you all?... I will say one thing I am a bit worried about the Freelander because of the electrical problems it sometimes has. I run my Light Show off a 150 Watt Inverter which sometimes it draws from the engine and you can hear the bleep it gives off for warning of Faulting (Inverter that is)... Anybody familiar with Land Rovers and if so any suggestions or advice concerning anything related to power issues before I go get this Opus product...

Thanks in advance for the comments / suggestions...

Nooo...

That screen is not VGA, I know they are cheap but all your windows display will be blurred. Get the lilliput, xenarc or gain VGA screen they are alot sharper too.
