era appropriate computer monitor

[cxune]

This may be a new one.. has anyone tried to install a computer monitor for an onboard windows/linux PC in their 67-72?

In particular, I wonder if anyone has tried to make it look like it belongs in a truck of this era. I was thinking of either using an early 80's monitor case with a modern VGA CRT installed, or a late 60's early 70's TV case with a VGA screen.. maybe install an 8-track and CB radio next to it to complete the look.

There are lots of reasons to have a PC in your truck now- thousands of hours of music in MP3 for starters, plus real time maps with a $50 GPS module, access to the internet through your cell phone for internet radio, traffic maps, remote access to work, etc, etc..

If anyone out there has tried this, I'd be very interested in seeing some photos.

I used to have a pentium-90 in my '87 suburban back when a pentium-90 was a fast computer..

PS - if you think that is crazy, google for that guy who installed a 1500 watt inverter and a (house) windows unit AC in his toyota.. claims it works very well..

I'm half tempted to install a toaster oven in my glove box just to bug my friend who keeps giving me a hard time about wanting a PC in my truck..
