We just got some $ to buy a  computer (PC) for classroom use.  The computer
would be used by more than one teacher, in more than one room.  We would
need something that:

1. is meant to be moved around -- is on a cart (we can buy that separately )
and is strong/durable enough to withstand moving
2. has  a big (36 inch) screen or some sort of projection device.

We were thinking of either a Gateway Destination computer (although I think
it only comes with a 32 inch screen) or buying a multimedia cart, a PCTV
monitor, and a laptop (more security issues).  However,  both my principal
and I think that there are computer systems specifically set up to be rolled
from one room to another, that come on a cart.

If you have some sort of set up of a computer which is rolled from room to
room, I would love to hear what you have and the good things and drawbacks
of what you have -- would you buy the same product or set it up the same way
again? Or if you have read about such a product and can point us in the
right direction, we would be thrilled!

Of course, I need this information today (Thursday), or tomorrow a.m. at the
latest.

TIA!!
