I am torn between leaving the dash stock and using a decoy deck, or cut it up and do a fresh install with all the trimmings. Guess I'll know when I get there, I'm a ways off at this point.
i'd also thought about something like that. i was thinking of building my carputer into a gutted original AM radio case, then using phidgets to control the computer functions with the original radio controls. i'd prolly place the monitor overhead, along with one in a custom gauge bezel (see my avatar) and maybe even a larger monitor in the glove box with a keyboard integrated into the glove box door. that's all still a long way off, but something i'd like to tinker with.
