How to turn an Eee PC into a carputer

Russian Eee PC In-Dash Computer Mod
Wired: Gadget Lab — An enterprising Russian hacker has ripped apart both his car's dashboard and his Eee PC (701G) and recombined them into a rather excellent in-car computer. It's no simple mod, either: The perpetrator, named Dali, added a USB touchscreen, USB Bluetooth, a USB GPS unit (plus, of course, a USB hub), and a wireless keyboard and joystick mouse.
