A buddy of mine has one of the 7" ones from these guys and I helped him install it. It uses a standard VGA connector.

I had a 9 inch CRT....it would of been pretty tiny if I removed the case from it.  How much was that Car LCD?

a friend of mine has an htpc ( home theatre pc) and his remote control for it is one of these 8" lcd touchscreens http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7950295197&category=38650
run with an mini itx 200 mhz  it looks an works amazing, i'm thinking about buying one for my jukebox project (wife allowing funds willing)
it uses a regular svga cable to hook up

that would be great.

A touchscreen remote for your jukebox.  Just throw the PC under the bar and have the Touchscreen Remote out so you could play what songs you wanted.  Small and compact. I like that.  I wonder if it would work.   If you could have it displaying Jukebox software on the remote.
