Hi JF: I would have added my vote with Spencer. The PI would be your most cost effective bet. I've seen some very neat VESA mount solutions that allow you to hide the pi behind the monitor. As for your two display question........ I've read about a solution allowing you to take two ethernet linked PI's and create a dual display. I've never tried this. Here is the link: http://synergy-foss.org/ Let us know what you finally decide on.
