Re: Mini-Itx Touchscreens

["paul_watkin" <paul_watkin@xxxxxxx>]

So Landed one of these looks like it will cost somewhere approaching
450 pounds by the time excise have had dibs. and thats before adding
the rest of the bits to make it useful.

That seems an awful lot for a 12" LCD, a 200 watt psu and a piece of
bent metal, however I do like the idea and having identified a
company at southampton boat show (of all places) that can make rather
nice custom panels for wall mounting stuff like this (there main line
of work is making boat dashboards) I am tempted to try my hand at
bending bits of metal!

So to my actual question, where is a good place to source the
relevant LCD screen, controller, touch panel backlight etc in the UK.

Or could I just pull apart a cheap LCD monitor and use the guts of
that and add a touch overlay??

Regards

Paul
