CentOS - Jun 2010 - small touchscreen/ side monitor for access control application

A couple months ago there was an inquirant looking for a 
small, wall mountable monitor to provide an display and input 
device for entrance control on an area.  Think Geek was out of 
stock on a possible offering, but just came back.  I just 
received this notification of availabity

     Mimo Mini USB Monitor - 720-S Slider Touch

I have no interest in this referral, beyond the hope of later 
receiving reports of people succeeding (and writing up) their 
adaptation of such to CentOS

Hmm, combine one of those with a couple of these:

(or build your own:

Better would be wireless USB, of course ... anyone know of an
available working implementation?
