I plan on doing something similar, but my car is a navi, and I want to use the factory screen. I thought I remembered someone here hacking the touchscreen for use on a PC, but I can't be sure.
Also, pretty sure Roadrunner is only windows based? I use Centrafuse so correct me if I'm wrong.

screamin, here you go:
PSU: M2-ATX. Bootup takes about 30 seconds, which is pretty good for my setup.
OS: Windows XP SP2 (would prefer Linux, but there's a lack of good navi sw)
PSU has a startup/shutdown controller built in, which is wired to the ACC line of the ignition. Both when the ACC (accessories) power is turned on and off, a pulse to startup/shutdown is sent to the jumpers on the mobo for the power button (like pressing the button to turn pc on or off). Many times, I never even touch the computer during a drive. It botts up when I turn the car on, and shuts down when I get out, all without any user interaction.
you are right, search for met152 here on AZ.

Three Wheelin'
ITL....
I live in Atlanta (cabbagetown). I really like the job you did, and am looking at eventually wanting to do something similar with my 06' non-Navi.
I've been in IT for 12 years, and am a MS/Vmware/Network engineer/architect, so im well versed on the computer side of things, but not as versed in the actual physical manufacturing and modifications of the vehicle dashboard itself.
Would you be up for meeting up for a few beers somewhere and talk about maybe assisting me with modding my TL?
beers on me
cheers.
