[Jonny] has yet to learn the way of the Dremel
Touch screen displays
I'm thinking of getting a touch screen monitor (just to mess around with really) but I'm not sure what to look for. I've done a quick search on dabs/ebuyer and these forums (you can't search by tag/filter ) but didn't find anything too helpful. Google searches mostly turn up boring product pages..

Any ideas? One requirement is that it must support Linux, not sure what else to look out for other than that

Also try looking here, may need to do some reading, and searching into Linux.

Thats all i can think off. Good luck.

Go on ebay, search for touch screen kit. This will provide you with several sellers selling touch-screen panels for customizing your existing monitor. I got mine for $50 for a 19" panel. Works great, comes with everything required as well as Linux drivers. Hook it up to USB and you're good to go. You even get them in 16:9 these days.

Also, I believe I have seen AC-Ryan selling DIY panels like these as well.

You still need a projector or LCD TV, though...

Yeah. We have those at school as well. They are awesome for websurfing


And it's always fun watching teachers use normal whiteboard markers on them. (The normal whiteboard is right beside the smartboard, and both is often used at the same time.)
