Touchscreens for CNC

A while ago I purchased 30 touch screen computers from IPNI (former
employer of my brother) to be used on one of my projects. However, I
never finished the project and my wife wants then out of our house.
The system includes the following:

-12" Color Touch screen (1024x768 LCD display)
-Intel ATX motherboard with on-board video and audio
-155 MHz Pentium with mmx
-32 Megs RAM
-4 Gig hard drive
-PictureTel web camera (without capture card)
-VersaPad touch pad
-External Power supply
-No floppy or CD ROM

I would recommend removing the touch screen monitor from the system
because the computer housing makes it difficult to access
components. I originally purchased the system for the touch screen
monitor and not for the slow processor and motherboard. I have
uploaded 3 pictures of the systems in the "Photos" section of the
user group. I am asking $125 each which includes shipping within the
U.S. If you are interested, you can email me at matt@... or
call me at (602) 751-4331.
