€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.
About €700 ($900) + PDA in all.
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

n-n-nine-nine hundred $$$?
wow looks liek you p[ut quite a bit of money/work into it.
as to the hdd, you you thought about making a custom water cooler? i mean if you are skilled enough to do something like the aximiser im sure that you could make a cooler for the hdd.
i have an ejclsure of my 120gb wd protojee which has a fan on it. it is a nice inclosure but i dont recommend it, it was a rpyle pain to get the hdd inside and when i did i had a hard time gettign the top cover on. one thing you could try is get something like
THIS and find an enclosure that will accomadate it and has a small fan i nthe back. that should give you ample cooling. i would do soethign about the heat pretty soon as heat can casue a good hdd to go bad in a short matter of time.
