Nobu N8 is a touchscreen PC in-wall. It features 8-inch LCD touchscreen, a 600MHz Intel Celerom M or 1.1GHz Pentium M processor, 512MB of DDR RAM, 4GB SSD, 802.11 a/b/g WLAN, and three USB 2.0 ports. It also sports built-in speakers/mic, audio out, VGA out, and comes loaded with Windows Xp Professional.

Here is an excerp from the folks from Nobu:

The new 8” panel is a fully functional inwall touchscreen PC with all necessary input/output ports to control any subsystem or automation hardware in your home or office. Our goal with the new design is to satisfy a large demand for a smaller inwall touchpanel as well as to create the most robust, powerful, and visually appealing touchscreen on the planet. We designed the N8 without a fan because we wanted to eliminate noise and also to eliminate possible points of failure which is also why we will offer the high performance industrial Embedded Disk Card (iEDC) hard drive as an alternative to a standard 5400RMP hard drive. The N8 will have a fanless 1.0 GHz Intel Celeron M processor. The N8 will be available with Windows XP Professional. We can also sell the N8 without an operating system for special applications.
