In-wall Touchscreen PCs




I have been doing some research into these...  I have discovered a grand
total of 3 units out there and I was wondering if anyone had come across
any others.  I found the Nobu 12" unit which is exactly the kind of
thing I'm after, but very pricey :o  There was one other that I found,
but at 15" it was a bit big to get approval from the wife.

I was wondering if anyone had any other solutions.  Basically I want one
in the hall upstairs so that the 3 bedrooms sharing the master bathroom
can choose the music they want to listen to in the bathroom.  I want
users to be able to browse songs/albums/playlists and radio stations.

The music/radio will be centrally distributed by SlimServer to
Squeezeboxen in Node 0, amplified there and speaker level sent to the
bathroom in-ceiling speakers.  The problem with this is that the control
mechanism (the Squeezebox UI) is in Node0 while the user is in the hall
;)  Even if the squeezebox was local, I'm not sure that it would be very
convenient to control it with a remote.  If I had a touchscreen I could
use the web GUI to select the tunes.

Can anyone think of another solution?  Perhaps a wall mounted PDA with
Telcanto?
