take a look at this tiny beauty that could be used for a carputer...i remember reading somewhere its only going to be 299 and with NO moving parts PERFECT for a carputer...and its already gotten MS's stamp of approval to carry the Windows 7 capability badge!!

EDIT: Found a better link with neater pics

 

I never found the appeal of carputers. A custom holder with a hinge on it for a laptop would still look cool and probably more functional.
