Broke up with Heidi a while ago. She just wasn't right for me.

Here are some instructions on making XP solid as a rock on flash devices: http://osf1.gmu.edu/~sfiorito/eXPinstall.htm

Thanks for the link.

I have pondering the use of flash devices since it was mentioned - are you referring to something like the Sandisk SD cards. Something like that would make sense, I have a 2GB one in my phone, however I understand that they have a limited life span, or is this down to manufacturer?

No screen is included in the above. The 7" Touchscreen option (Xenarc black with sunshield) is €385.00

A special shock-proof* harddrive of 40Gb would be €120.00 extra

A solid state harddisk for the OS and applications of 1Gb (on top of a normal 2.5" harddrive for storage) would be €160.00 (64Mb - 2Gb possible)

Sounds good....

I need at least 80Gb of storage - we will be storing a stack of music, all our photos and videos as well as several GB of maps and satellite images.

I already have a GPS mouse mounted on the roof.

I would want at least an 8" screen - have you tried looking at a map on a computer whilst bouncing around off road?

I would also want at least 512-1Gb of RAM (bearing in mind no paging file) and a half decent graphics card for 3d rendering of routes.

What are the dimensions of your case?
