looks good mate I wouldnt mind doing something like that for gauges though (like someone else said), but its the time it would take 
Btw, the computer in a car thing isnt new. People have been doing it for ages, for mp3 playing etc etc Running linux, windows (full versions and cut down version which are about 20mb in size). If your really serious about doing it, then i would have a search on google for mp3car and silent(or micro) pc's, http://www.mini-itx.com , (using EPIA boards etc).
