Linux `all-in-one' touchscreen computer?

I just came across this recently:

    http://us.shuttle.com/barebone/Models/X50v2Plus.html

All-in-one touchscreen PC with an explicit `works with Linux' label.

Looks like the online retailers are selling it in a barebones
configuration (no RAM or HDD) for ~$300. I haven't been able
to find much online in terms of reviews, save for a single
review of the *previous generation* that called the screen "dim"
and one that complained about Windows being hard to use on
touchscreens....

Has anyone actually seen one of these `in the flesh'?

PS: Like I said above, the barebones version is available
for $300; it looks like Shuttle is selling a completed version,
themselves, with a copy of Windows... for $800. The extra
RAM+HDD hardware they include looks like it's good for
less than $100 of the price-delta; have we finally passed
the point at which the price of a single use-license for Windows
is actually *more than the cost of the computer hardware*?
