Okay, i ended up getting the Pyle branded Sharp 5.6" LCD screen off of EBay
for $200... not to shabby. It'll be here next week...

In the meantime i've been doing some research on the power for this project.
The main issue is that i want to be able to remove the gamesystem and put
any other AV type device in it's place (namely a PS2 as soon as i get my
hands on one so i'll have in car DVD as well as gaming). I'm going to mount
some female RCA jacks in the glovebox so that anything with an AV signal can
be shown on the monitor. SOooo.. that leads me to the power issue. I don't
want all this stuff wired directly to the power system, i want a good ol'
standard wall socket type plug to plug whatever the device may be into for
power. I've been looking around on the web for power inverters made for car
use and have come across a few so far (here's one, and here's another).
Has anyone installed anything like this or seen anything like this
installed? I know a lot of newer SUV type vehicles come with AC plugs in the
rear, and that's sorta what i'm going for, only i want to mount it somewhere
accessable in the front, hopefully in the glovebox. The problem i'm seeing
with the ones i've found is that they all plug into the cigarette lighter
socket, which is a no no. I want to power the inverter straight from the
battery or from the distribution block that my amps are coming off of (which
has two open ports). Sorry for being longwinded, but i hope that explains
what i'm looking for. Hints tips suggestions??

ANYONE? Bueller? Bueller?
