there a very small form factor computers, here are a couple of links where you can get some :
Car Computer Systems

Complete selection of Mini ITX carputers

now for the screen its just like a small computer screen but its touch, so you use for finger to go thur the menus and stuff. Here is a link to the one i got it a double din, i swapped out my dash bezel for a 03+ bezel. The only thing i did was add wood shims to the sides to center it out and painted the wood black.

Double DIN Lilliput EBY701-NP/C/T VGA Touch Screen

u can pick other screens but there is gonna be more fab work involved.

now for the audio part im running a head phone jack from the back of the pc, and converts over to rca's, now thats plugged into my radio thur the aux.

for power you can use a simple power inverter and just start up and shut down the pc your self, or buy a power supply which is pricey and a pain in the you know what to wire but it lets you start up and shut down with the ignition from the truck.

i ended up using the power inverter cause the computer i had involved, cuting and splicing and tapping into wiring off the motherboard. the pc i had was not ment for a mobile use, so they did not have a plug and play kit. Plus it was almost 300 spent on that power supply, i returned it after the one i got was dead, and also they lied to me telling me it was plug and play.
