Carputer - Flip Out Screen please!

[Halil]

Hey guys, i am thinking about putting in a carputer into my mk1 punto. However, the only kindof screen that is worth getting is a single DIN flip out screen. As anything which is not flip out is far too small and the car only supports single DIN. Does anyone know where i can grab a single DIN flip out touch screen monitor? I just want something that i can hook up a PC to even if i have to do a bit of fiddling. Thanks in advance!

http://www.cartft.com/ will have what you need company is based in Germany but does tons of different touchscreens.

http://www.carcomputer.co.uk/shop/in-dash-monitors for some based in the UK.

I can highly recommend http://linitx.com/ if you need parts to build the PC if you are not planning on using an existing system, Chris who runs the site is a top bloke and very helpful.

Thanks for those links mate, i managed to find one thing which i think fits the spec:

But £288?? for JUST a monitor? Sounds like a bit of a rip off to me

sadly car pc stuff is always going to (for the most) be pricey as there really is limited demand so the cost of design and manufacture is spread through less people at a higher cost, the only way you could keep this down is to try finding a second hand unit on digital car or eBay or work out a way to use a non DIN car pc screen of which some are much cheaper.
