Oh **** for $1000CDN you can get a new kickass one!!
I bought a 10.4" VGA TFT datalux screen with a 486 databrick computer and 1.4GB laptop hard drive and nice keyboard and a wallcasing for all of this for $265USD, but the screens alone are going for about $300USD on eBay used. This screen will do what you need, it's touchscreen and great, but it's only 640x480. If you want new and can afford it, go over to
earthlcd and check out either the EarthVue 9.5 TFT for $400USD plus $200USD for the touchscreen, or the EarthVue 8.4 TFT Touch Monitor for $550 including the touch screen, the only problem is this not a bright screen.
Just wander around on ebay, you can find the datalux ones for $300USD that work off of VGA, that should work fine for you.
