Ok, after much thought and consideration, I've decided not to use the laptop computer. I plan on using a homebuilt barebones desktop system. I will still use the laptop LCD and may upgrade to a TFT screen to reduce washout. I may even get the double input LCD controller so I can play video on it at night once I park. I decided on the desktop because I can always upgrade that way. Bobby got me thinking when he talked about it crapping out after it was installed. Does anybody know how to turn the display output 90 degrees? I know that it has to be possible, but I can't find anything on the internet about it. Somebody here asked me about the inputs for the LCD. They are not compatable with a normal desktop. You have to get an LCD controller. The cheapest I've seen so far was $199.
