A good Tablet for watching unconverted anime (.mkv,.avi, 720/1080)?

It seems to get both power and video from one USB cable. That makes a PC able to place a monitor up to 30 feet away with one of those specialty extension USB cables (5 feet + 25 feet). You'd probably have to use a powered hub from a brand that allows more than 500 mA draw before triggering the overcurrent signal since the signal extender uses some current of its own. Usually, the laptops are pretty accurate with that. Thankfully, my Dell laptop allows quite a bit more than 500 mA before signalling overcurrent for that USB port.
It weighs 2.3 pounds and has a thickness of 1.4 inches. Velcro would hold it up just fine.

I see the new Archos 101 G9 just came out http://store.archos.com/archos-p-5017.html but I don't know how well it plays the files I'm looking for, it says w/ the plugin it supports MKV which is great. I might try it out. If not I'll just go with kita's suggestion. Jinai, your suggestions were good but unfortunately we're not really allowed to alter the rack or anything like that - are you in the Navy as well? Thanks again guys. I'll post again once I decide or if you guys have any other input.

MKV's play with or without the plugin... mostly anyways. The plugin is the AC3 codec. Check your anime and see what audio codecs they're using, it shouldn't affect you too much for anime watching. AC3 is usually the standard for DVD rips, Anime MKV's usually use AAC.
Not quite sure what the extension listing on the site was about, but the people in the archosfans forum are watching MKV's. G9 plugins haven't been released yet so it's likely that none of them have it. The only videos they have trouble with are the ones with AC3 audio tracks.
Best way to test it tho is to find a bakabt members that have Gen9s and see what they think.
A bit of a warning tho. Archos has the best features software wise, but they're notorious in the hardware department. I strongly suggest waiting for user comments and see how the next batch of tablets turn out. The recenty released A80's had a defect. The spring that i suppose is meant to hold the 3G module in place is pushing down on the screen and users were clipping it off to relieve the pressure on the LCDs. They supposedly fixed it in the next batch.
That said, personally i'm getting an Asus Transformer in a couple of days, it's inferior for what i need, but there's not much choice. They're apparently focusing on supplying shipments to the US this time, and i don't think we'll be seeing it in asia for a while yet. It'll be half a year before we get the 1.5Ghz G9's over here :'(

Because I figured you were not able to alter the rack by drilling even one hole, that is why I suggested the strap method. That method involves no drilling nor even using adhesives to the rack. The only problem is being able to have the straps go down both sides of the rack. If one rack is firmly and continuously mounted against the bulkhead wall, then you will not be able to fish a strap down that side.

Nope. I remained a civilian all my life.

Transformer Prime's going to be launched in two weeks, might be worth a look.
BTW, according to the tablet guys, anime encoders are just a bunch of lazy kids and 2mb should be enough. Last i checked every non anime video i've downloaded is 5mb ::)
