Keep the ideas coming, the only thing I see against solid state would be space. I would like to have some space to put audio and video(for showing off). Maybe I will do a small CF card for the Operating System and use a hard drive for any data I want.
I like the Velcro idea, I will have to see what the mount that comes with the lcd looks like, if it has any type of telescoping I may be able to incorporate it and be able to slide the screen off when need be.
As for ram, I can get more if need be. But I plan on running a very minimalistic Linux so it shouldn't be too taxing. I will attempt to get suspend to ram or suspend to disk working for quicker boot up times.
I like the idea of the graph with best vs current, would work nicely for daily commutes where everything is the same and I can see how much better I am doing. That may be a bit further down the road though since I have no idea how to create graphs and I would need to figure that out first
