Of all the systems I have installed, I have never sprung for an industrial PC, I have never found them exceptionally different except being a bit more rugged.
I have found it much more practical to pick up a suitable electrical enclosure such as supplied by Hoffman or Hammond and build an off the shelf PC into it, I generally fit a fan with a filter with air directed in, at the opposite side a exit filter, this keeps the enclosure positive pressure.
The front or door can be fitted with switches or push buttons and panel mount LCD if desired.
