hey George You might want to check out an integrated touchscreen/computer. Elo makes a really nice 32inch, that can be mounted fairly easily, doesn't require a full size PC, is easy enough to access and update, etc.
Monitor $1500 http://www.elotouch.com/Products/IDS/3201L/default.asp Computer $1000 http://www.elotouch.com/Products/Computers/IDSECMG2/default.asp We are using these in a range of applications. Feel free to hit me up off list for more info. Hope this helps. Josh Josh Goldblum Founder & Creative Director _________________________ BLUECADET 1011 N.
