The screen is a Lilliput 7" XGA touchscreen.. available everywhere... The PC is actually in one of the mailslots (that huge ATX power supply pictured was only used for testing and didn't go in the car):

Most people who have carPC's (myself included) use touchscreens for most things. He mentioned earlier that he had a touchscreen.
As for me, I have a touchscreen for the basic functions, along with an onscreen keyboard, and if I need anything crazy, I have a mini bluetooth mouse, and a mini bluetooth keyboard that I can pull out. Being wireless, they will work anywhere in my G, and even about 5-10 feet away, if need be.
