I've been asked to set up a Linux thin client network in a small start up office. In the begining they want to keep their costs low, but have the flexibility to expand to better equipment.
For instance, they will start with junker P1s&P2s for terminals but probably in 6mo upgrade to proper fanless thinclients. But in this set up the thing that matters the most seems to be the monitors. They cost more than any other individual scaling component (on the server the only scalling components are HD and Memmory). so if a monitor costs $200 and he wants N terminals, it can get pricey fast. obviously this isn't the desired effect. New 17" CRTs are going for as low as $71 on pricewatch.com, but these are low grade equipment with bad long term prospects (low refresh rates, high power consumptiong, MUCH higher fail rate than LCDs) Is there an option that would allow me to avoid purchasing cheap CRTs while still maintaining cost effectiveness? -- Justin K.
