there are plenty of these,made for process control, industrial sites etc.
The problem is,not being a huge volume business, they are NOT cheap...
and usually they are shock mounted and proof against dust etc, good for
on the road, but again not cheap.

BTW, if I was trying to DIY this setup, for cheap I would use a tower box,
with homebrew bracing into a rack, and use a old cheap laptop as a remote,
running a dumb terminal emulator on it..
those industrial jobs i mentioned above usually have fold or slideaway
keyboards. You can get rackmount draws, which could hold the laptop.
