Ed, are you specifically looking for multi-touch capabilities? How many
touches?

We use ELO Touchmonitors ( http://www.elotouch.com/Products/LCDs/default.asp
) with Mac Minis in many exhibits. The Mac support is actually pretty good.
The ELOs support the Touch Base UPDD drivers for OS X (
http://touch-base.com/documentation/MacOSXPlatformNotesV5.htm ). Using the
UPDD Gestures driver ( http://touch-base.com/documentation/gestures.htm )
I've been able to get some basic muti-touch gestures to work on a Mac too.

ELOs are great because they have robust glass fronts that we don't have to
protect. Open frame models can be mounted in cabinets or walls, while the
desktop models can be mounted out on their own.

We've also used PQ Labs' multitouch overlays to turn bigger displays into
multitouch devices, but my personal experience with these is only in
Windows. They do say they support Macs ( http://multitouch.com/product.html
).

Cheers,
bk
