I see it more as a solution where you buy a thin client, then use it for a 10+ years without having to upgrade them, except for the remote desktop server(s). Plus they're all centrally managed and eat very little power compared to a 250W+ desktop.

Desktops are generally "old" a few months after they're bought Unless you do gaming or other intensive graphics (video editing, etc), then I think a thin client is great as a workstation.

How about thin clients using Jack PCs?

Thin clients always struck me as being a little pointless. They're going to cost you £250-£300 a pop anyway, so why not just buy a desktop for the same amount?

the idea is simple, workstations with SSD only, and shared storage for all workstations, ( i also have a cisco VPN set here so i can access my files from 0.0.0.0/8 )

For MoBo's, I prefer MSI. Have a look at this one: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=pr...8&prod_no=1943

3.5" motherboard, Atom N270 fanless (1.6Ghz). Attach it to the bottom of a 3.5" SSD, add some power and voila

SSD will defeat the purpose of a storage box .. , maybe ill just buy one of those home SAN devices... it should do the trick wouldn't it ?

I would recommend a dual sossaman setup ( dual yonah ). you have a 2x dual cpus for peanuts .
board costs 10 bucks ( IIRC it has free shipping)

I have a dual machine here .. but i am not using it at all ( its plugged out ).
dual 933Mhz PIII , it's too noisy , i want something Quiet.

I want something with no moving parts..

considered buying some more and making a raid 60? j/k

for sure ill get more, from now on , ONLY SSD.

I took an old P4 made it a storage box hooked it up to my cisco, laptop is SSD.

not much storage space .. but i don't need that much ... i got about 1.8TB~ of space for all of us at home here .. great setup!

honestly i'm thinking about replacing the P4 with a fanless ATOM ... so it will be more quiet.

which board you guys recommend for an ATOM ? (fanless )

Lots of spam on here lately....... Maybe instead of a kitten getting killed every time Oles posts in French, we get a spammer?

Treated myself to an early one, a new PC, as I seem to get through them like fresh air. Does buying yourself presents count?

It sure does, Still a present
