Hi Rob,

The cheapest touch screens I have come across are made by a Japanese=20
company called DMC Co Ltd. Trident Displays in the UK sell these. I got=20
a price for a 18.1" screen and this was approx =A390 +VAT plus about
=A324=
=20
for the controller. Compare this to 3M Dynapro and any others and you=20
will find them to be very low cost. A 6.5" from 3M is around =A370 for
the=
=20
touch screen alone. The DMC one was only about =A323 + VAT.

Go to www.dmccoltd.com for more info and specs.

The controllers work great with Window drivers available.

By the way, current Mini-itx boards can only driver VGA input TFT=20
displays so this limits you to an off the shelf one which is not so easy=20
to add a touch screen to as the DMC ones are designed for building into=20
your own enclosures.

I use one on my 6.5" kitchen PC and it is faultless.
