What is the end user application?
The type/cost/size of touch screen will vary greatly depending on the
above question.
I've installed flat panel plasma screens on submarines, prcoess control
screens in factory situations, tourist information kiosks, museum usage,
and one my dad uses for solitaire at home (he hates the mouse). Reliability
and cost vary greatly ($20,000 down to $200)
Assuming you are using a standard delivery environment for your client
(Windows, Mac or Linux) you shouldn't need to do any coding at all.
Just switch the monitor and install the drivers (nicely provided now by
the manufacturers, you don't even need to write your own drivers, anymore)
If it a simple Point of Sale type environment, indoors, the main questions
become:
size of monitor (15" or 19")?
regular monitor or LCD flat screen?

Do you know where I can buy one, how much it costs, etc?
also, so what u are saying is that there is virtually no programming
involved?
