Kitchen safe touchscreen recipe reader

equipment

I think it would be nice for me to have a rugged computer based networkable device with a touch screen mounted in the kitchen to bring up those difficult recipes.

Does anyone here have any experience with such equipment and so point me to a reliable one?

It's not "rugged" yet, as I need to put a protective layer on the screen and hide some of the pieces. I will probably build the parts directly into the kitchen when I remodel (hopefully happening soonish). I built myself one out of a laptop with a broken screen and Acer T230H monitor (23", touch screen). It's just running windows 7, and still needs some tweaking. Call it a work in progress, but it works great. My wife and I love it. The laptop was lying around and the monitor was quite affordable (about $350ish CAD).
