and seal the box with a clear perspex cover. Still have to work out how to
make it look "pretty" but it may give you a starting point.
Alternatively,
look at the industrial interfaces offered by the likes of Siemens (some of
their screens incorporate a PC built behind them).

putting a
15" LCD screen in the bathroom, vga connection to the loft where I can
site
a mini-itx box, with RF keyboard and mouse to control it back in the
bathroom. I have cat5 into the loft, and so I can then access n0 for divx,
mp3, and web-browsing. I can run amplified speakers from mini-itx.
