Anyone used these for a bot PC?

Touch screen, compact... not too expensive.

Anyone have any bot suitability information?

The Atom is a pretty slow processor/chipset though since it is designed for low power consumption.

I run my bot from a refurbished off lease Dell with a 3ghz P4 which cost under 150 dollars with a licensed copy of XP Pro. The only thing I did was add a USB 2.0 card. So far its been stable and I have never had it crash.

I bought a cheap 20" LCD for about $120.00 as well.

I think it would be fast enough but you still need a keyboard so a touch screen may be pointless.

I thought some of you might be amused by my computer setup.

The key bd is a membrane style adhered to the desktop and the computer is "Bare". I've ruined two laptops with dust getting where I couldn't set it out. At the end of the day I take compressed air after the naked computer. No more problems.

The touch screen is the point. I used on on the Buddy at the IWF in 2008. It worked well. Still need a kb at some point but it is tucked away the majority of the time.

Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong in the photo attachment script above?

Thanks

How do you type in commands? is there a screen keyboard? I hit pause too much to try to hit a key on screen. I only use a mouse to select the file I will run.
