I actually built a rig like this... used it in my truck for a while... 
then got a better screen and I'm currently using it when I go flying...  
same idea.. just oriented for stuff I need while flying single engine 
planes. 

I'm also looking to sell this rig...  =]  It's an M10000 mini-itx 
board.. 512 of memory.. 40G laptop drive... laptop dvd/cdrw...  and a 
screen from NavAero...  the way I use it.. either mounted to the yoke or 
strapped to my leg.. kneeboard style... it's a 7" transflective touch 
screen.... if anyone is interested.  =]
