Was wondering if anybody had suggestions, i want to buy a refurbished 360, 24" flat screen HD TV, and a power inverter, get it all hooked up in the trunk.

Any suggestions, advice, or tips on how and what to do? I have a long bit of time to save the cash for this all considering i will be finishing it all in the summer. Now go on?

I've got an extra 360 laying around. Thought about selling it, but also considered putting it in the ride. Seems like you've detailed everything needed to connect.

However, how are you planning on getting power to the inverter? Also, where are you thinking of mounting the 360? All I need if I want to run the 360 in car is an inverter and to route the A/V cables to my head unit. Still debating if it's worth it since I very rarely drive with a passenger (and I certainly can't play 360 and drive at the same time).

Haha, that was one of my very few questions. I kinda need to know how ill power the inverter, also, i was thinking of a few simple mounts on the xbox that i can screw into the bottom of my trunk. Most likely to the back, i was wanting to mount the flat screen in the back, or maybe connect it to the trunk lid so that i can connect rollers to the bottom, which would be snapped into a parallel type of two roller bars *kind of like how you would slide a keyboard tray out, except youve got the tv connected to where it can roll along said rollers*, that way when you lift the trunk, it would bring the flat screen up and out, and when you close it the tv lays down and slides backward, and youve got the 360 mounted down somewhere in the trunk. Im going for more of a showy look where if im showing the car i can pop the trunk and show off some MW2, etc..., not the conventional, "hey guise, lets play 360 on the way to south padre this spring break." lol.
