Back in the day we would play bolo tell they kicked us out and told us to go home, How ever even back then they ended up making rules banning games, something to effect of we where distracting people trying to work.
Having had a roommate who worked for AT&T BB there is one thing to point out with this, Most TV's will generate interference on the Cable that can mess with your Modem, normaly they install filters on the TV lines when you order both CableTV and the Modem, How ever if you just have the Modem there is no filters this means if your TV is hooked up your liable to take out your cable modem and anyone else's on your block
I agree there both sides have good points,
If a system is TRULY userfriendly it would point out that what you are doing is stupid and will cause errors/sercurity holes/ect.. But a stupid user would still click ok.
I was not actualy suggesting rack mounting the monitor, I was thinking more along the lines of the computers are rackmounted in the belly of the bus and then the monitors are mounted to the chairs infront of you and the keyboards/mice on the desk:)
Although the bus has the "cool" factor, Cost wise and bang for your buck I would go with there current car and a box of Notebooks in reality the $50k your gonna spend on a bus can buy alot of laptops and most places the bus would go will have desks or tables already there;)

That being said If I where to go for a bus/truck ect I would take an existing school bus take out every other seat and add a small desk with enough room for the keyboard/mouse combo route the cables down to the existing storage under the bus add rack mounts and put the the computers down there (In the bus you would have to add extra AC with that many kids / computers plus noise) Put Flat panels attached to the seat infront of each desk and have multiple OS's on each computer..
I think a good question here is why lunchbox sized? If one is working with music equipment in the firstplace, 90% of it is going to be rack mountable equipment, so why not a good rack mountable computer?
I Have been looking for a good rack mountable case & flat-panel/keyboard combo for my rack for a while myself..
