I have bought a lot of Capio's and Eon's all different model numbers. I find the newer Capio's have much better video on-board. The Eon's have really bad video on-board so I just install a PCI video card and do not even try the on-board video for the Eon's any more. It can be a risk, buying used equipment on the Internet. You could buy one new one or for the same price 10 used ones, even if only half of them work you still are ahead of the game and you have a few extra for parts. Most of the Neoware units will work fine with the LTSP X_SERVER setting of auto, any that do not work fine if you set them to vesa.
I have not tried sound yet but I will be soon. I need to setup soft-phones to work with our Asterisk server. I will post my results with Neoware thin clients when I know something. Avoid the 200 Pro, I have two of them and they do not have PXE and I have not found anyway to install a working etherboot. I don't think they will work well as a terminal but with some effort they could be made to work as an LPT printer node. I have a CA10 also but have not tried it because it needs a special power adaptor that I do not have. That is another thing I like about the Capio's and Eon's; the Eon's take a standard PC power cord and the Capio's take a standard laptop power cord, you do not need adaptors for either of them. I could not find any good quality pictures for these units so I posted pictures of all four types here http://silicontao.com/ng/terminals/ng.php these are front back and inside views of these Neoware units.
