2002 BJII SP20 sound system idea

Hello, I'm jotting down some ideas for each car I'm considering to buy and since I can't have performance mods (Provisional License), its audio for me.

Anyways, I come up with an idea of replacing the head unit in a 2002 BJII 323 SP20 with a 7" or so LCD touch screen, with a small form factor PC in the back controlling everything audio for it. Is there any screens that you can fit into the hole decently left behind by the old head unit?

Here is a few pictures to try and explain what I want to do, the pics are from my Dad's 2003 BJII-J48 Astina, sorry for the differences, but its as close as I could get to the 2002 SP20.



The head unit would be removed completely, the LCD with touch screen would be placed in the left over hole.



A PC, I'm guessing mATX sized case in the boot, with DC-DC PSU and a SoundBlaster X-Fi sound card, or AuzenTech (Same stuff basically) feeding sound to a 4 channel AMP, which are hooked up to 2x 5X7s in the front and 2x 6.5" (Or 6 what ever is the standard size) all aftermarket speakers in the back. There should be enough ventilation in the boot for the PC to run fine. I'm guessing the sound from a PC sound card would be much better than one from a head unit?

While I'm at it, does anyone know the dimensions of the sun visors in a SP20 BJII?

Help and ideas would be greatly appreciated too, thanks very much! I'm sort of going for a neat look.
