Nandalal, Display: XENARC 1040POS, 10.4' TFT LCD http://www.xenarc.com/product/1040pos.html alternatively: Lilliput 8" 4:3 VGA with Touchscreen http://linitx.com/product_info.php?cPath=64&products_id=426 Mainboard: VIA EPIA MS http://www.viaembedded.com/product/epia_PD_spec.jsp?motherboardId=241 alternatively: VIA EPIA M http://www.viaembedded.com/product/epia_m_spec.jsp?motherboardId=81 RAM: 512MB PC2700 333MHz DDR DIMM - Ultra Low Profile http://linitx.com/product_info.php?cPath=9_36&products_id=277
For Standard-Situations you can choose from a large variety of housings. I use this case: Morex Cupid 2699 http://www.morex.com.tw/2699.htm . This one comes with 60W Power Supply included. Note: This one will house only the board, not the display ! For testing, you can also put a hard-disk: example: Seagate 20GB Momentus 5400 rpm 2.5" Drive - ST92011A http://linitx.com/product_info.php?products_id=302 And a Slim-Line CD-RW: Slim 24/10/24 CD-R/RW - Panasonic UJDA360 http://linitx.com/product_info.php?cPath=59&products_id=400 All-in all, it is very easy to assemble everything (a matter of some 30 minutes or so..) Anyway, you would not need/want hard-disk and CD in hospital. The device would boot from LAN. For hospital, you would have to design a special case to put display and board together. (May be there is already a solution, but I do not know it..yet..). And, sure: you would have to certify it according EN60601. Happy screwing !
