It's alive!! Got the 7" touchscreen, fired everything up with only minor issues - no ground loop that I can hear, went for a drive while my wife watched a movie (The Incredibles xvid) and it worked great. Weird issue with my DC regulated adapter....set on 12v it won't boot the PC, the power light just flickers on once then dies. However, putting the voltage down to 7v works just fine. No idea why, the factory ac/dc adapter is 12v. However, since I'm undervolting not overvolting I'm not too worried about it as long as it works.

Screen mounting is another issue - does anyone know which Proclip mount would work with the Liliput screen? Also, the extra cables on the screen VGA cable are annoying, does anyone make a replacement without the extra audio and video cables? I don't really want to just cut them off but I guess that's an option.
