You could build one with PC104 cards running embedded linux.

Have you considered using a rack of DVD players and running
the video out to the station? (or are these widely separated
kiosks?). You'd have the advantage of cheap machines, easily
replaced. And what makes you say that the player life would
be too short? I've seen DVD's that have been running 8hx7 for two
years now (museum).

And there are some small footprint DVD players out there.
