Need ideas for a CDU input device

[hitman]

Im looking to get a touch screen monitor exclusively for a CDU input device, using helios or whatever program I can use to export it to a touch screen. I have been -somewhat successfully- been using a Razer fully programmable keyboard for a separate input device specifically for the CDU, but after the last patch came through kinda made all the macros defunct and I had to redo every single last key stroke again.........:mad:

 

anyways, long story short, just looking for a simple way to do this. Id like to try a netbook or some sort of input device not unlike (but ISNT) an ipad. My motherboard has a connection for 1 more HDMI display plugin, and I think I can get away with it. Any general ideas I can use? Netbook, cheap touchscreen monitor, whatever...just as long as it isnt an ipad and doesnt break my wallet into highly flammable pieces...that I can use an already available helios profile for it.

Any touchscreen monitor and Helios will do the job with the least impact on your wallet.

what about a netbook? Id rather have a netbook simply because its smaller and I can place it on my knee

I have never paid much attention to netbooks. They never struck me as a useful device. However, if it can run Helios then it should work.

Hmm I have one kicking around, might have to give it a try.
