    It works well... but I find myself using the touch screen 70% of the time on routine functions and 30% of the time still using a mouse.

    I got a used 17" NEC that was a lease return retired from a restaurant chain. Make sure you get a larger monitor if you want to use touch screen as your finger is bigger than a mouse.

    I have a touch screen, and while my fingers are clammy and moist working with metal and coolant all is fine.

    When I start doing dusty stuff it insulates my fingers, and without licking them, or touching something moist the touch screen only thinks it is one.

    I actually installed an external cycle start button and almost never touch the screen. Just run the same cycle again.

    I have a resistive touch screen. Screens like on iPads are capacitive and don't suffer this problem with dusty fingers.

    Dusty work + touch screen means you need a capacitive sensor one.
