I can get the same monitor pretty much minus the touch interface for the equivalent of 90 euro. The prices need to go down a lot more on these things.

I have a HP Touchsmart and it works reasonably well, although it's only /duotouch and occasionally lags.

Capacitive monitors will work better than optical and they usually support more than 2 touch points.

 

Back to the Dell, not bad, but expensive for what it is. HP have just released one and it's much cheaper:

These things will be much common and hopefully cheaper next year I would think.

I can't ever see myself leaning over the desk to touch the monitor when I can comfortably use the keyboard and mouse.

Me neither. I bought the touch for wall mounting in reception so my spiffy cool new ajax intranet can be man handled by guests to the company Smiley
