Looking for a fanless thin client

Post by Sifiliat » Wed Jan 14, 2009 12:33 pm

Hi all,

I have been looking for this for a couple of days now and found this forum.. I am quite sure someone can help.

I need a very small PC to act as a thin client to do remote desktop session.

The bare minimum would be:
1. 1Ghz CPU or better
2. 512Meg RAM
3. Integrated VGA for 1600x1200 display
4. Integrated NIC
5. No HD
6. No FAN
7. Cheap
8. Integrated USB, 3 minimum.
9. Optionally a CD to boot if USB boot does not work

The goal is to boot XP or Linux on a small box and start a remote desktop to connect to a server.

I have checked the HP thin client boxes but having a hard time finding stock and they cost up to 500$.

I am looking for something simple, cheap, small in the range of 250$.

Any suggestions?

You might check out the eBox series, WDL System has some decent prices on them. They are designed to be mounted to the back of LCD monitors.
