Why not a nuc, or similar device from other vendors that are emerging? I don't know for the lan security part, but you can find a nuc5cpyh with celeron or nuc5ppyh with pentium respectively at 140 and 170 euros. Both have 6w tdp. You have to add at least memory but with further 20 euros you get 4gb. Disk optional, you can use sdxc or boot from lan.... Just a suggestion for further investigation. I'm currently using a top line nuc6 as an hypervisor without any problem with 3-4 vms, so I think a bottom line nuc can serve optimally as a thin client without its costs. Some of them have also Kensington anti theft that can be a good idea due to their size. Hih, Gianluca
Hi Gianluca, we were looking for a prepackaged solution because of the lack of human resources to devote to the project. But if pursuing this research becomes too exhausting we would probably develop a linux solution and in that case the kind of terminal you suggested is interesting indeed. Thanks, Giorgio.
