Panel PCs are always an option. They are an entire computer embedded into a slightly thicker than average LCD monitor. They are touchscreen too so you can get rid of the mouse. Most of them run on a Flash card but some have built in hard drives. Nearly all are industrial rated so you don't have to worry about dust or heat.

But what is cost effective? We have been using a laptop intermittently, but it generates too much heat to run it all day in our small, poorly vented receiving area with no AC. There is also too little space for a recycled full-size PC, though I could probably screw a laptop to the wall behind the monitor. The laptop we are currently using occasionally for this job is always in the way. The keyboard is on a pullout tray along with a trackball (takes less space than a mouse.) I'm not so much looking for a pre-packaged solution as for a tiny little computer with some standard connectors on it and which I can load with Linux if it isn't already there. Thanks, --Brian M.
