What sort of LCD monitors and PC's? If they are plain domestic or commercial types, I'm not surprised - penny pinching in Industrial environments often works out more expensive than paying for the correct equipment in the first place :) I've fitted Industrial panel LCD monitors in a dye works plant where you can't see 10m for dust and they have survived several years. Likewise embedded fanless industrial grade PC's without any ill effects. The PC's are simply fitted inside large steel IP65 sealed enclosures with no cooling fans or ports. They are nothing special, just the sort of enclosure you would fit control or switch gear in. They are about 1m tall x .75m wide x .4m deep and have two PC's in them. The size is big enough for them never to get more than a few degrees above ambient. The PC's are only radiating about 20W and are designed to run at up to 60C continuous anyway. What don't last are keyboards - we've done away with them wherever possible and fitted touch screens. Incidentally, clogged up keyboards can cause all sorts of weird effects..
