The X-Series is the one I have here and my comments above about it apply to that series. Specifically, the responsiveness of the system and the load were just fine - I was just really turned off by the screen resolution and color depth limitations. However, if you can design screens to work within the available specs, it could be a very cost effective solution. We used it for a 4-person training lab for a few months.
I also have the ethernet-based one, but I never bothered to try it out... If someone pursuades me, maybe I can test it out and review it one of these days. The concept is great all in all.

I am using a cuwin 3500 to run elkRM.
Honeslty, I picked it up from http://www.cubloc.com/ for $399. I cannot imagine paying over $1K for the TS07(which seems slightly inferior) just to have it configured for me. Installing ElkRM was quite simple, but you have to be comfortable with mobile devices and activesync. The only "quirk" or mobile devices is to make sure whatever you put on there ends up in flash instead of in RAM.
It runs a full version of Windows CE 5.0, .net compact is pre-installed, so all networking, USB, etc is in-box. It also has a SD slot that you can store programs and data on. I even use it to serve up a small mp3 collection(it has audio drivers and audio-out).

It has a fully functional windows CE 5.0 install on it. Just connect a DC power source to the terminals and an ethernet cable to the jack and its connected to the internet. Just like hooking up a PC. It has an IE browser built in and a USB-host port that supports HID devices(I tested composite keyboard, mouse) and flash drives.
Software is installed via activesync from a windows PC, same process as installing software on a cellphone, etc. If you have activesync installed the elkRM installer automatically sets it up to be installed when you connect to the device. Just make sure you install only to the flash drive or to a SD card. It is difficult to remove/reinstall software that was written to RAM due to the registry being in flash, but the files being in RAM.
ElkRM runs pretty well, although the computer does lock up every week or two. I'd recommend hooking the power supply to something close by, an output, swtich, etc. Rebooting requires power-cycling and it has always booted and connected to the M1 very quickly. Read the manual online, I have it configured to automatically run elkRM in full screen mode on boot.
The touch-screen isn't amazing, but works fine with a finger and the large buttons. Using a stylus or retracted-pen is useful to configure settings or use the on-screen keyboard(quite a pain, recommend real kbd for anything complicated). For the price it rocks, but I wouldn't compare it to a Q1.
For those that have installed it into a wall (flush mount), did you get a mounting bracket for it? Where did you find the mounting bracket, if such an animal exists?
We bought an existing home and are installing the ELK M1 system along with a CUWIN 3200 in the master bedroom. The instructions and hardware for mounting only appear to apply to a metal plate.
Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Allen

Honestly, mounting it is not very hard. The 399 one has an open frame, you may need to protect it a little, the more expensive one is in a plastic box. Just cut a hole in the wall and use friction to hold it. If you have access from behind the possibilities are endless. Otherwise some weatherstripping, flexible clips/metal springs, those plastic tabs located on the home depot fill plates, drilling small holes in the frame where it overlaps the wall and gluing a wood strip inside the opening, etc. If you have an industrial setting or are a pro-installer, well that is a different story, but for home use, just improvise.
