LCD mounting options

Do any of you have any pictures of how you mounted an LCD display in your mini? I am looking to put a Mac MINI in the car and run the audio out to an aux input. This would allow me to have a full computer in the car for iTunes and with an LCD I can also have the option of movies and games. Anyway I found this at xenarc:

But have not been able to figure out the best way to mount it.

Also anyone running a computer in the car how do you deal with heat dissipation and avoid the temp in the computer box rising too high?

I don't have a separate computer in my MINI but I do have a PS II thin. In addition to the other suggestions for LCD location you can consider either on the back of the visor or purchase a clip on over the rearview. That is what I did I love it. People in the back seat can view the games with wireless controls or a dvd movie. I also have the back up camera looped to it. When not in use as a LCD, it is an inlarged rearview. Love it.
