I've used a number of screen from Elographics.  The elographics.com site 
now points to exscreen.com. Not quite sure the relationship.

If you want to do your own cabinetry, you can assemble this yourself into 
a box.  The screen bezel/case connection is the most critical piece.

There are a number of companies that make pre-made kisok enclosures.  If 
you want more info, ask, and I'll assemble a list for you.

If you want a custom enclosure, and don't want to build it yourself, 
kitchen cabinet guys are definitely the ones to build it for you. Most 
custom cabinet makers can do a bang-up job on these, they are pretty cheap 
- and they love the challenge

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?
