A chassis for a counter-top touch-screen interface terminal associated with a central processing unit has a lower housing and an upper housing. The upper housing engages and rests on the lower housing and includes a touch-screen for communicating information that is with the central processing unit, a customer display for displaying information that is communicated through the touch-screen, and a swipe reader for receiving a card having information usable by the central processing unit A socket pluggably receives a terminal cable for carrying power to the terminal and communicating signals with the central processing unit The socket is positioned within a recess of the upper housing From the chassis, a slide bar protrudes to slidably engage the upper housing with the lower housing. Also, a slide guide protrudes from the upper housing to restrict side translational movement of the upper housing relative to the lower housing. An adjustment bar from the upper housing selectively engages one of a plurality of adjustment detents in the lower housing as the upper housing engages and rests on the lower housing to provide one of a variety of selectable fixed viewing angles of the touch-scr…
