You can try PCPalace (www.pcpalace.co.za). They mostly cater to large
companies but they sell to the public too. Mail them with info of the
product and they will find it, if it's in SA. But I agree, being a DIY fan,
It would be way cheaper to glue a keyboard to an LCD. One can even hack the
LCD to run off batteries if need be!
