A friend has asked me to build him a Car-Puter. We were planning on having the whole thing controlled by a Logitech Harmony 1000, But I figured that for that price, It would be preferable to find a small LCD (800x600+) with touch screen. Also, That way the system wouldn't require a 2nd monitor on the roof for movies/visuals. So far, All I've been able to find is close to the price of the Harmony, Anyone know of some cheap ones?

Is DOES NOT have to be touch screen, As I can add a touch screen element later for pretty cheap.

I've seen people using small LCDs in case mods, Anyone know where some of those can be found?

Its a good one, But It's almost as much as a car-made one. The Ideal solution would be just the LCD screen and controller card with VGA input. I know the things are cheap to make, But so far (since the sale of the raw parts is rare) the only ones Ive seen are expensive.
