hmm, the price sounds about right...here's another kit which is for xenarc monitors...in theory it should work for any 7" monitors (99% sure on it), but just to make sure, i would call them up and ask...

the one you found will also work, but only on that size monitor (7")...just out of curiosity, what kind of monitor do you have?

by the way, make sure that if you get a "touchscreen kit" you have the drivers, usb controller, and touchpanel...without any one of those, you'll have some trouble 
also, heres the installation walkthrough for the kit:

yeah installing the touchscreen shouldnt be a problem if you know what you're doing and are careful--make sure you avoid contact with the screen's circuit board because your body has static electricity stored in it and that static could zap the sensitive electrical components on the board...where to mount the usb controller on the otherhand--three choices:
1) try to fit it inside the screen's casing (might not fit)
2) put it on the outside of the screen's casing (ghetto)
3) pull the wires through the hinge (or even outside the hinge) into the upper overhead console...(this is the one I would go with)
goodluck :thumbsup:

The onlything I would have to input on this is when you install the screen make sure there is not to much pressure on teh panel. I had to remount mine becasue the mouse was stuck in the left corner.

the second one is all you need....it converts the VGA signal to S-video or Composite...the first one looks like its some sort of signal switching box where you can choose which connector to output the signal to...
