Not sure anybody cares but wanted to give you a quick update on my installation.  I got the inverter and did a little customization to it.  It had two ports so I plugged the xbox into one, and extended the wires on the other and mounted it on the side of my center panel so I have access to it anytime.  I also extended the on/ off switch to the inverter and mounted it next to the plug so I can control the inverter being on or off.  I still might install a toggle switch as a safety backup just incase the other switch gets accidently bumped or something.  My next step is to get a monitor.  I work at a place that sells them so I do get a discount.  From what I've been told it would be about $75 off a $200 monitor, $200 off a $500 monitor, $400 off a $1000 monitor......so in other words, a little less than half off- so Im sure thats my best bet price wise unless theres a good website out there that would sell them cheaper.  Just not sure I want to get a roof mounted or in-dash.  My plan is to eventually get both so for now I just might get the indash.   Im just not sure if I want to move my heat/ ac controls and put it there or take out that bulky stock ford radio out and put it there.......it would leave a big gap wouldnt it? Doesnt really look big enough to fit two things in there, like a replacement radio and the monitor. I don't know, just thought I'd give an update.

I will post a couple within the next couple days.  Gotta take a few pictures first.  And for another quick update I decided to go with what mrselfdestruckt (thanx by the way) suggested and get a modded xbox.  That way I can install it in the back, and be able to turn it on from the front and just select from a list what game or movie I want to play without messin with any disc. I'll take a few pics of what I got done so far which is just the toggle switch, extra outlet, and now the xbox in back (not the modded one yet though).  I still plan on installing and extra toggle switch for the main power to the inverter and dc plug, a pc cooling fan or something to that effect in the side of the center console so the inverter gets more air circulation, and then the monitor ofcourse.

Here are some pics, not of very high quality because I took them with my phone camera, but will give an idea of what I've done so far.  1) Under my center console where I have my inverter 2 + 3) each side of the console, driver side has the main power control toggle switch- passenger side has the extra outlet and toggle switch for inverter.  4) is a picture of the xbox I have in there now, it's behind the back seat but once I get the modded xbox I'll be able to turn it on from the front.
