i need a way to mount a desktop computer case with all the bells and whistles i will be using solid state hard drives i am aware of the options to have it in a sling i want something more secure and stabilized mounting an LCD is not an issue nor is a wireless keyboard and mouse even for gaming as the rv is a Faraday cage and with park wifi or wimax i am expecting latency of 150 ms up to 200 an extra 2 ms from my mouse and keyboard i do not care but i do not want the computer to suffer from the road and no laptop its just not an option even with an lcd screen i will be demanding to much performance for to long and burn it out

Look at car-pc websites. There are cases designed to be bolted down, and also power supplies that accept 12v input, so you don't need to be on shore power or run an inverter.

Other than that, RVs are mostly plywood on the inside - find the spot you want your PC to live, and put some lag screws through the case and into the floor (for example). Might want to look under the RV to make sure there's no water or electric lines in the way.

Build with an aluminum case so it has less inertia to bounce around while you're driving. A USB dvd+rw drive might be a good idea too, so it can be stored separately and plugged in when needed.
