This company produce a cabinet that has a standard
PC locked away with a monitor too -- it basically
looks like a games arcade machine.

I have only seen them in Western Australia though
and their Linux is well secured, but they're useless
if you want to do anything other than viewing
web sites and using web based email. You can't
bring up a xterm or run any commands (or at least
I couldn't) and I couldn't use my Java SSH client
either because of a local proxy it was running.
