So my friends’ band and I are preparing for our winter tour, a journey of about 4000 miles in a beat up Chevy G20 conversion van. For the last tour in the summer I installed a Sony 9 inch CRT Display (A whopping 20 bucks from a friend who works at Best Buy), a 420-watt inverter, and an old school 8 - bit Nintendo.

The NES was great, but by the fourth day of the tour I watched the band's drummer beat Contra for the third time, so the NES got old quick.

For this tour we had discussed installing a PS2 for not only newer games, but also for the ability to play back movies, which brings me to the root of my question:

Will having the PS2 installed in the van damage the PS2 in anyway?

I googled this subject and looked all over the "pimp car" forums on the net and found nothing. I think the problem stems from the fact that most people who do this have enough money to toss around that they don't care about damage. Unfortunately, the owner of the PS2 in question will kill himself if he gets home and can't play Madden.

Any answers or suggestions in mounting the unit would be appreciated.
