I don't recommend this because it's ridiculously expensive and wouldn't be
practical unless you already had the parts (for other tasks obviously)...

I recently acquired a Dell Mini 9 Netbook, that I immediately converted into a
Hackbook, ie. it runs OS X. I also have an Elgato Hybrid (2009) USB TV Tuner
which is pretty amazing.

When I take my //c Plus to the user group, I put my Dell Mini 9 on top of the
//c Plus, and route it's video through the Elgato and size the screen
accordingly. Yeah... it's small, but it works. I also 2-way split the RCA from
the //c Plus - the other half going to a Epson 77C projector.

With the Dell Mini 9 acting as my display, it's also my ADTPro machine,
Internet connection and whatever else I can think of for the //c Plus. Very
utilitarian and like I said expensive if you didn't already have the stuff for
other purposes.
