home vs. industrial PC..

hi group

a company asked me if i was interrested to build 8-10 copies of my
homebuilt router for them, after have seen it. now, this machine is
made of hq parts only and the heart of it, an industrial panel-pc is
v-e-r-y expensive (it runs flashcut with the black-box). my problem
is that the specs for this pc is a little to low, or on the border
line to run flashcut v2.0. the fastest cpu available for this
particular board is a 1.2 gig celeron. so, in order to take the full
advance of fc, i now have 2 options:

1. wait for a new upgrade/release of the industrial-pc (the complete
unit costs around 2300$ today)

2. use an ordinary home/office pc with higher perfomance and 1/4 of
the price, and parts available in any radio-shack.

whats the advantages with an industrial pc one may ask? honestly, i
dont know. i was just told by some engineer that its a must-do.
i do know however, that they have a thicker circuit-board and more
layers of surface protection/treatment, so they can stand vibrations
better and someone claimed that the powersupply is more reliable.

still, ive seen a lot of "home"-pc´s on the shop floor covered with
s**t running year after year flawless.

so, my question to all of you is, can i sell my machines with a built-
in standard pc, and still consider it a serious machine (the monitor
and keyboard is industriual, though)
