Hiya Ben! A 486 is fine, but I'll need a bit more grunt for the MP3's and movies :-) I can fit a 14 there, with a bit of fiddling and offset a bit to the passenger side. Hopefully the screen will be right in the radio slot - high enough to not interefere with my legs (I have the seat right back anyway). Do you happen to know if I can interface a PC DVD player to a laptop? If not I will just have to "make backups" of my DVDs on VCD and use them (I really do buy my DVD's, so I imagine a VCD as a backup used in the car is not illegal?) Hehehe... I just got back from a trip down the beach on the West coast, over Dargaville way. We took my mate Mats Beach Buggy :-)Onto the beach, drive along for 30 miles, play in the sand dunes (bog it down to the axles once too) then 30 miles back down the beach with a bit of playng in the mud, and then 45 minutes back home :-) Great fun!

You could use an old Compaq Contura 486, they had very small colour screens (about 10") so that should fit in the dash all right. Also the LTE series had smaller screens as well. What are the requirements of the engine management software?
