Touchscreen Jukebox Project

Update:
After a long time I am now (I hope) ready to continue this project. It is now my final A-Level technology project and therefore has to get completed ;D.
Over nearly the past year I have been talking with Chris (wincab creator) and Lars (SimpleTouch FE creator) and have managed to almost get 2 matching and complete skins created. I have also over the last week been learning how SolidWorks ::) works! and have created a new rendering of what my jukebox might look like.
I believe we have to start building at the latest January, so hopefully some more practical progress should be made soon.
Any comments are welcome :)
cheers
PS My new model is based around this touchscreen (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/15-inch-USB-Panel-Kit-Set-Add-Touch-Screen-Function_W0QQitemZ290355765098QQcmdZViewItemQQptZComputer_Monitors?hash=item439a8d5f6a) does anyone have any experience with this seller and his products.
Bender:
damn that thing looks sweet, and the render... WOW!!!!
I gotta learn me some of that!
plus you gatta love the Bubba Ho-Tep :D
Paladin:
Glad to see you back on it! For those that don't know, his original render inspired me to make my own touchscreen bartop with Megatouch guts. Good luck on your build!
Silas (son of Silas):
I had a look at the link for the USB touch screen panel you posted. Those panels are crazy cheap compared to the off the shelf price in the UK. Let us know how they work out. For the money, they must be worth a punt of anyones money?

What material would you lay that onto? Plexi? I'm assuming you wouldn't put those touch pads directly onto your lcd monitor, for fear of people pressing too hard on the screen. Sandwiching a piece of plexi between this and the lcd would be ok, but plexi doesn't have any tactile response. It's not soft enough, if you care about that kinda thing.
