Well there are lots of LCD monitors with touch support out there,
although I suspect most use VGA or DVI for the video and serial or usb
for the touch screen.

USB to VGA adapters do exist, and linux has drivers for the sis315/net2280
based ones.

I guess combining a usb hub + LCD touch screen + usb2vga adapter would
get the job done.

Has VGA output as far as I can tell, and 7 USB ports, dual gigabit,
eSATA, etc.
