$100-130 on a 5" lcd screen
OUCH!... they cost about £35-40 here in the UK off EBay... usually Sharp ones... we just mount em in a drive bay or 4 and run em off tv-out... wouldn't call it difficult...

The ones on ebay come ready to roll... all u have to do is attach a power lead to run it off a molex (the screens are out of the back of seats in planes I think) as they're designed for 12v anyways, and hook up a Composite video cable. The only annoyance is that their always NTSC, whereas in the UK most of our cards are preset for PAL output. A quick flash of the VGA Bios usually sorts that out tho...

So, in total, 4 wires to connect up. Plug into TV Out socket. Doneskis (just find somewhere to mount it)
