About €100 of Aximizer (+ all my summer vacations :) )
About €100 of HD USB of 160Gb
€60 of Power Inverter (12vDC to 220vAC, 300w)
€6 of 5mtrs. USB cable.
€100 of GPS receiver BT.
€15 of OBD-II diag adapt. But a ELM323 based costs €30-45.
€275 of TFT VGA TS in-dash
€10 of SD to USB adapt (built-in inside the slot)
€30 of CD changer emulator to get car stero audio input.
€110 of Ratoc CF USB HOST (EDIT 10.06.06)

About €800 (+$1000) + PDA in all. (EDIT 10.06.06)

I routed the USB cable with a lot of work, dismounting several plastic covers.

You are right, HD becomes very very hot. Mine does not have fan but I am going built one inside of 3cm. I did a trip of 1200Km during the summer and it is unbeliable how it could become so hot, but it worked all the trip and is still working
