I'm just looking for a basics guide,

Building a computer is easy enough, but I want to know if there is any good racks, Lillyput adapters, what power sources are being used any recommendations.

I would defiantly like to use a touch-screen lillyput monitor.

Any ideas?

Look up msi windpad. They make ones which are passive cooling.

Use an ssd (cheap these days)

Liliput screens look ok but check how bright they are.

Use a laptop inverter to get the required 19v.. And you need to wire it directly to the battery to avoid sudden power outages (e.g. When starting)

Also look up aliexpress.com and input car computer - there are a number of ATOM based double din computers with 7" touch screens, radios and multizone. For software look at centrafuse.com - sounds great but could be quite complicated getting all the hardware/software correct. the end result could be amazing - 3 zone video etc etc.

I ended up with a Kenwood dnx-9260 - had a 7200 before which was great, the 9260 interface is sooooooo slow - bit of a disaster really.
