PC Mag has an interesting, if not exactly practical, build guide on how to turn your car into a rolling high tech office. Included are:
- DeLorme Earthmate GPS LT-20
- Matrix Orbital VFD
- Hauppauge WinTV USB tuner
- Pentax DSMobile USB scanner
- Gyration GO 2.4 Optical Air Mouse and Compact Keyboard Suite
- Card reader/USB hub
- EarthLCD 10-inch touch screen
- HP Deskjet 460
- Desktop shredder
- Infinity Kappa component speakers
- Kyocera KPC650 EV-DO PC Card
- Lenovo ThinkPad T43
- Lenovo Port Replicator II
- Infinity Reference 7541A amplifier
Obviously, these components, for the most part, were not designed with the idea of being used in a car. Hence, while it is possible to replicate what PC Mag did, whether this is a SmartIdea is another thing. Is it really a GoodThing to have all this stuff in a car? Wouldn't watching a TV show/surfing the 'Net/editing a document, while driving, be very stupid things to do? YMMV. Insert disclaimer here.

Nice idea. But then you lock your car with the keys inside :)
