Re: Touch Screen kiosk pc on ebay

["Simon Coates" <ecolume@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Keyvan,

Nice one!  Just a few questions about them.

Can the screen be mounted at a distance from the PC without any problems?
I'd like to wall mount some but haven't got space for the full unit.
Also, is the screen a TFT?  Is it a decent screen etc... I haven't got
round
to mounting the Fujis yet as the screens are quite poor.

Thanks

Simon

I bought 2 of these units and they shipped them to the UK, even
though the page says for US shipping only.

The shipping was $47 per unit and VAT duty, etc. was another £58 per
unit.
That's still less than £190 a piece landed. The touch display alone
costs twice that price here!!

I have them both running Win XP SP1 and they work like a dream. I
have MusicLobby and Mainlobby running on both and the response is
very good. They are very easy to install. The only drawback is that
there is no soft power switch. You have to turn the unit off by
unplugging the power when windows has shut down.

There is a detailed discussion about these on this thread:
