This is one of the 'ebay' screens. Made by some no name Hong Kong company
and distributed to the UK by Avshoppe (http://avshoppe.com/). Cost includin=
g
shipping from Honk Kong (eventually ships from UK so you get no import
duty=
)
was about =C2=A3140 if I remember correctly. Took about 10 days to arrive.

I will be coupling it with a mini-itx motherboard, compact flash hard drive
and Linux which will boot up a web browser and connect to my server which
will probably run Mister House and eventually my own software which I am
writing.

Thanks
