Was just looking at this machine at Office Depot today they want about $1200 USD

I think it would make a rather nice Jukebox.

HERE IS ANOTHER I RATHER LIKE has no touchscreen but YES TV TUNER and remote control fits nicely under keyboard

Anyone know where to purchase a 22' touchscreen kit cheap ?

Not sure about 22'' but here is a good place to start: http://www.magictouch.com/index.html

They can make one any size if I remember correctly.

There is an LCD megatouch machine that is a bartop that you can pick up for about $1,000 second user that would make an excellent jukebox.

Funny you should mention that.  I just purchased one of these last week.  I got the IQ507 which has better graphics card and onboard TV tuner.  Theres a website called Ecost which has refurbs for ~$900......and when Microsoft Live! was doing their 30% off last week, AND I had a 10% coupon, I could pass up one of these for 40% off!!

Freebox does look splendid on the 22" screen, but the screen is a 16:9 widescreen which runs max res of 1680x1050.  The BnB skin (1024x768) and the new Christmas skin (1280x1024) are both created in the 4:3 format.  Running them on the 16:9 screen makes them a little stretched horizontally.  I wish I could get the skin gurus here to make me some widescreen skins, or learn the skintool myself  (yeah......good luck with that......)

I'll see if I can get some pics later with Freebox on the screen.
