looking for computer to mount on a wall

[KaBone]

You know those digital photo frames? How about if that was a computer? Instead of a regular calendar, I'd like to mount a touchscreen that will display the day/week/month's activities as well as the ability to pull up recipes, stream video, surf the web, etc. If you haven't guessed yet I want to put this in my kitchen.

So you want to mount the computer or the monitor? If it's the monitor it's a easy job, just get a monitor that has a vesa mount on the back and a vesa mount for the wall.
If you want to mount the computer, it's a bit more complicated, I suggest buying this case that's designed to be mounted on the wall: http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Chassis/Mid_Tower_/Core/C_00002732/Core_P5/design.htm

You want either an ITX or small form factor computer. Or better yet, a Compute stick. http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Generation-Compute-Processor-BOXSTCK1A32WFCR/dp/B00UZ3CYE2

How about just mounting a tablet to the wall? Lots of choices for Windows, Android or even iOS based tablets.

Big mahalos for the replies. Just to clarify my needs/wants. Not looking for a CPU to mount on the wall. I'm looking for a touchscreen that's wall mountable. Haven't found any all-in-one/tabletop PCs that are VESA compatible. Thought about taking a convertible laptop or tablet and making a custom mount. These screen sizes tend to be less than a typical wall calendar, ~24" diagonal. So I see this montior http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1518415&CatId=11877, into which I would plug the PC stick, and then I'm good to go? I also found a 24" tablet from Nabi. Would that one work?

That should work. And probably cheapest option

Alternatively, get an all-in-one touchscreen pc

I know Lenovo makes those Tiny PC's that you can get a VESA bracket on and mount the PC onto the back of the monitor. They have a few options on the brackets depending on how you want to mount it onto the stand. Not sure if that's what you're looking for though, but they will be faster than the Intel compute sticks.

Another option for your monitor choice is this Acer.

There are VESA mountable PCs from Lenovo, Gigabyte, Intel, etc in the form of products like NUC, BRIX and so on. The problem is that if you VESA mount the PC to the monitor, you are then out of luck in terms of mounting that monitor to the wall. I'm sure there is a workaround for this though.

One surefire solution would be a touchscreen monitor with an Intel Compute Stick plugged into HDMI on said monitor (you'd need one with a side or bottom facing HDMI port) and then VESA mount the whole apparatus to the wall.

As said, a NUC from almost any manufacturer can be VESA mounted but you will need a separate VESA mount for a monitor.
