Setting up a computer in a restaurant kitchen

I am looking into setting up a computer and lcd monitor in a restaurant kitchen in close proximity to a very greasy area of the kitchen for the purpose of the cooks being able to see food orders placed by customers.

I want to know if there are any inexpensive products available to protect the devices from grease build up.

Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

Food plastic wrap?

I'd be looking for an enclosure with a glass front where any grease gets on the glass, not the computer.

I'd try to keep the system itself out of sight altogether, unless you need to access it frequently. It's a lot less likely to handle a little bit of grease well than the monitor. Make sure you allow fr aiflow, though, don't cover up the intakes and/or outtakes.

As for the monitor, Doug said what I would - if it doesn't need to be pretty, I imagine plastic wrap would work perfectly. Another possibility would be a simple plexiglass (acrylic) enclosure built from a few small sheets, which wouldn't be expensive.

I'm not sure why I didn't think of it initially, but instead of setting up a computer or monitor in the kitchen for cooks to receive food orders, a simple ticket printer connected to a computer or network to print out food orders would be most cost effective and efficient.

I'll look into what kind of products are available. Perhaps I can find something that connects to a wireless network (which may not be most cost effective, but would be better than having an ethernet cable to deal with).

Look for "industrial" displays, keyboards and mice, and long cables. Keep sensitive stuff out, can't stand the heat....

Be warned, the industrial displays, which are typically designed for warehouse and other harsh environments, are three or more times as expensive as the stuff you buy at BestBuy. Sometimes, its cheaper to replace the cheap ones more often. Depends on the environement, etc.
