Touchscreen LCD and OS X

I know you can use a touchscreen with OS X. There's a company that can put a touch-screen interface onto any monitor. I saw them at Macworld SF this year. They had iMacs, eMacs, Cinema Displays, and ordinary CRT's using touchscreen. They put some coating on the screen that makes it touchscreen. Very cool stuff. Sorry I don't remember the company though. But it can be done, and I've seen it work in person if thats any help. Try a search on google.

There was a company in the Netherlands that was rebuilding Imacs for retail stores as a cashregister, mostly for barbershops. The screen was adjusted with some kind of glass plate which they fitted in front of it to get a touchscreen. Don't know the name of the company however, and this was only done with the old crt Imacs. They hadn't have a solutions yet for the flatscreen Imacs because the glass was to heavy for the arm.

here's a 12incher:

there was a guy who connected a mac mini to a 10" touchscreen.

This is for a car but maybe you could use it just for the screen http://www.xenarc.com/product/700IDT.html

Back from the dead.

Any cheaper alternatives to do so now?

A company I work with has a 12" touch screen (maybe larger) that was connected to Mac Mini to run a still-born "Photo Booth" they had me design interior for.

I could ask them which one they used if you can't find any other info.

Acer has got a 23" full HD touchscreen display on the market.
Costs about 250€ in Europe, so I guess around $300.

I have a:

• [*]Model Name: Mac mini
  [*]Model Identifier: Macmini2,1
  

Would this work with a touch screen; 'cuz my moniter is beginnning to behave like I need a new one.

I recall reading this guy's blog a while back - there's some (old) details in here about how he hooked up a touch screen to a mini to run his home automation set-up. It's a start:

iPad + "Air Display" app should do the trick.

This 8 year old thread isn't even about Mac Pros.
