Sean:  try researching Samsung's commercial units.  Although they  
have a longer lead time, you can essentially work with them to  
customize a unit, using third party partners, that fit your specific  
needs.  I was able to find a local distributor here in Dallas about a  
year and a half ago (before the economy went south) and they were  
extremely helpful.

You can also look at some of the flash drive based units, such as  
those available from Roku.  (If you search the listserv archives,  
you'll find a discussion on which product people prefer.

We've used the digital players mounted right to the back of the  
monitors; there is often enough room between the monitor and the wall  
so, for all practical purposes, they function as a built-in.

Good luck!
