What hardware/software do I need?
What you need is Windows Terminal Server plus a PC (cheapo) for each terminal.
WANG and DELL have some of those lightweight or solidstate MiniPC that boot off the server and have no moving parts or you can rent PCs for the duration of the show (this is very cheap).

Very easy and simple, the server doesn't have to be the beffiest server, any modern mid-level PC will be more than enough, especially the only app you'll be running is IE.
Windows terminal server have the controls to prevent the users from downloading and installing crap hence breaking your PCs.

Good luck!
