Re: In-wall Touchscreen PCs

["egelbeertje" <r_d_k@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark,

I'm basically looking for a similar tool to do exactly that, I do
have cupboard (to hide a pc or laptop) next to the area I would like
to integrate a wall touch screen.

is what I'm looking at, just saving up for the moment though so no
experience with this for the moment. Any feedback appriciated though.

rgds Rob.
