I was also VERY pleased to discover that the driver program for the touchscreen will allow multiple touchscreen modules to be used on multiple monitors. This was an awesome discovery for me since I have a dual 19" setup with the desktop spanning both screens. When I run mach in full screen mode it spans both monitors perfectly. Of course I now need to design my superwide screen set for mach, since the default set is really stretched. I currently have only one touch screen kit installed, but I plan to add a second overlay kit so that my entire viewing surface has touchscreen interface instead of just half of it.
The monitors were some used 19" Dell LCD's (identical type) I bought from a local computer repair shop for 20 bucks each. They had just acquired about 50 of them from a library sale.
BTW the computer I'm using is based on a Gigabyte F2A55M-DS2 motherboard. I've been using the Gigabyte Ultra Durable boards for my desktop computers for several years now running 24/7 and overclocked with 100% reliability. While I normally prefer intel CPU's and Nvidia graphics cards for my desktop's, this little AMD based board has a really good integrated video solution thats awesome for a cnc controller computer.
