Anyone running Evoscan on a carputer for logging and/or displaying gauges?
Thinking of getting one of those miniITX computers linked to a touch screen single DIN head unit something like this:-

I'd like a single DIN screen so I can keep my boost gauge where it is in one of the existing DIN 'slots' as the VR-4 ECU doesn't have boost readings available and so that the screen is not quite so visible from outside the car.
Would like to know if anyone's installed or running a similar setup and if it works well.
I've read all I can find on Evoscan on here and can't seem to determine if it can run without the flashy dash light scenario mentioned in other threads (wouldn't ideally want this). Seems that plugging the data cable into the car's OBD port invokes diagnostic mode but I hope I've interpreted this incorrectly.
Ideally I'd like the kit to provide video and music playback (anything a desktop computer would play) and use Evoscan (or whatever) to provide fancy info gauges most of the time I'm driving as well as logging info as required.
I'm OK with the technicalities of the in-car PC, touch screen, connection, set up etc just wondered if anyone's done similar and specifically, using Evoscan or similar software for gauge display.
Come on gurus, give me some clarity.
