I am currently working on my final year project at University of Cumbria where I am carrying out a feasibility study on setting up an Open Learning Lab in Carlisle where members of the public will be provided with free IT training using Free and Open Source software based around the Linux Terminal Server Project.
Part of the project involves giving a presentation where we plan to demo a small Thin Client network of 4-6 machines. As this is an academic project, it is unfunded, so I cannot afford to purchase the hardware for this demo. Therefore I am looking for people who may be willing to donate disused Thin Clients to the project free of charge. Ideally the Thin Clients need to have at least the following technical specifications: CPU: 300MHz+ RAM: 64MB+ PXE Boot Capabilities 10baseT Network Interface USB Port (1.0 or 2.0) Power Supply It is also desirable to have some flash storage but not essential to the project. A confirmation email can be sent by my course leader at the University of Cumbria should anyone require it to make sure this is a non profit academic project. I have a disability so with regards collection, they would need to be within 30 miles of Lancaster. I would however be willing to pay postage at cost if they are outside of this 30 mile zone. An example of a suitable machine is the Neoware Capio 620. These are pretty much obsolete hardware, so I am sure someone will have some lying in a corner in a storage room somewhere. Anyone who is able to donate these machines, will of course be credited in the final project report as sponsors. If you have anything suitable, please don't let it go to waste, allow us to recycle it for our project. My sincere thanks, Alexander Hanff University of Cumbria
