An automated kiosk has (a) a cabinet; (b) a face frame releasably securable to the cabinet; (c) a plurality of cross members secured to the face frame; and (d) a plurality of hardware components releasably secured to the cross members. The hardware components may be sized and configured such that they project substantially directly inward into the cabinet when the face frame is secured to the cabinet. A method of modifying a kiosk of the invention, comprises (a) removing a hardware component or a faceplate from the kiosk; (b) repositioning a cross member on the kiosk; and (c) installing a new hardware component on the kiosk. A method of constructing a kiosk of the invention comprises (a) assembling a cabinet to a face frame; (b) receiving an order which designates the hardware components required for the kiosk; (c) securing a plurality of cross members to the face frame in a configuration suitable for receiving the designated hardware components; and (d) securing the designated hardware components to the cross members.

I claim: 1. A kiosk comprising: (a) a cabinet; (b) a face frame, releasably securable to said cabinet, said face frame defining an opening; (c) a plurality of cross member connection points on said face frame; (d) one or more hardware connection points on said face frame; (e) a plurality of cross members, each said cross member having (i) a first end, (ii) a second end, (iii) one or more interstitial cross member connection points situated between said first end and said second end; and (iv) one or more interstitial hardware connection points situated between said first end and said second end; at least one of said cross members releasably securable to said face frame such that the first end is secured to a cross member connection point, the second end being secured to either a second cross member connection point or to an interstitial cross member connection point located on a second cross member; such cross members dividing said opening into at least two sub-openings; wherein at least one cross member is releasably securable in a variety of configurations to said face frame to provide sub-areas of varying sizes, depending on said configuration, such that, in one configuration, at least one of a plurality of first hardware components having at least 3 sides and a first front face can be releasably secured to said cabinet by affixing said first hardware component to at least one hardware connection point or interstitial hardware connection point, and, in a second configuration, at least one of a plurality of second hardware components having a second front face of a size that is different than said first front face can be releasably secured to said cabinet by affixing said second hardware component to at least one hardware connection point or interstitial hardware connection point said kiosk further comprising a main frame secured to said face frame, at least another of said cross members secured to said main frame such that at least another of said cross members is secured to said face frame indirectly. 2. A kiosk comprising: (a) a cabinet; (b) a face frame, releasably securable to said cabinet, said face frame defining an opening; (c) a plurality of cross member connection points on said face frame; (d) one or more hardware connection points on said face frame; (e) a plurality of cross members, each said cross member having (i) a first end, (ii) a second end, (iii) one or more interstitial cross member connection points situated between said first end and said second end; and (iv) one or more interstitial hardware connection points situated between said first end and said second end; at least one of said cross members releasably securable to said face frame such that the first end is secured to a cross member connection point, the second end being secured to either a second cross member connection point or to an interstitial cross member connection point located on a second cross member; such cross members dividing said opening into at least two sub-openings; wherein at least one cross member is releasably securable in a variety of configurations to said face frame to provide sub-areas of varying sizes, depending on said configuration, such that, in one configuration, at least one of a plurality of first hardware components having at least 3 sides and a first front face can be releasably secured to said cabinet by affixing said first hardware component to at least one hardware connection point or interstitial hardware connection point, and, in a second configuration, at least one of a plurality of second hardware components having a second front face of a size that is different than said first front face can be releasably secured to said cabinet by affixing said second hardware component to at least one hardware connection point or interstitial hardware connection point, and wherein said face frame has a front face defining a plurality of recesses, said kiosk further comprising a plurality of faceplates having a front surface, received with said recesses and releasably secured to said face frame or said cross members such that the front surface of said faceplates is substantially parallel to said front face of said face frame, at least one of said plurality of hardware components releasably secured to at least one of said plurality of faceplates, said kiosk further comprising a plurality of gaskets for providing a seal, said gaskets interposed between said faceplates and said at least one of said cross members to which said faceplates are releasable secured. 3. The kiosk as claimed in claim 2, wherein said gasket is L shaped.
