First, decide on the form factor. Most cars have two head-unit spaces, measured
in what the industry refers to as DINs. The carputers come in single- and
double-DIN sizes, the standard sizes of car head-units.
If you go for the double-DIN system, the entire head-unit area will be occupied
by a fixed 7-inch LCD screen.
If you are the type who likes to impress your friends, consider the single-DIN
system.
In this system, you need one single-DIN unit for the computer and a second
single-DIN unit for the LCD screen. When the screen is retracted, the system
looks like a typical car audio head-unit with a radio at the top and a CD
player at the bottom.
If you want to keep your existing single-DIN audio system, you can add the
single-DIN computer and then mount the LCD display on your dashboard.
For $2,300, you get:
Single-DIN system with retractable 7-inch LCD touch screen Windows XP

DVD player and AM/FM radio
