Michael; I've evaluated several of these devices, and have found the following: ThinkNIC - Can easily be set to PXE boot (Pressing certain keys during startup pops it into BIOS setup - set 1st boot device to LAN) - CD-ROM is unnecessary for LTSP - 4 fans (4 more moving parts) Jammin' 125 - Same hardware as the Optoma ST320 - Excellent solution - No moving parts - 300 MHz CPU? - Costs somewhat more than Via Eden Via Eden based system - US $202 shipped to Dallas from (qty 1, no discounts) http://www.caseoutlet.com/NWPc/2677/itx2677.html - Add 1 memory stick, set BIOS to boot first to "LAN", Rock and roll - 800 MHz version has CPU fan, 533 MHz version does not (my choice) - Case has 1 quiet fan and comes with brick power supply I've tried them all, and though the Via box is bigger and has a fan, I prefer it to the Eden. Faster CPU, and no Disk-On-Chip to manage. Hope this helps, Tom -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Thomas L.
