On different topic but related to Hard Ware I do have a current need for 3-5 terminal PC's that is there role is limited to: 1. Web Browsing ( Flash, audio, video, web cam, online meetings, etc. ) 2. OpenOffice work Has anyone worked with a small fan-less PC that can be attached on to the back of a 19" LCD monitor? Best speed per watt is what I need that is something in the range of 25-75W but running 1.2-2Ghz Lastly it needs to be $99 at most $150 ( anyone can find one's at $300 ) The mission is to deploy "Green" access terminals so that patrons can look up information without using a 1998 PC that uses 300w or more ( when you add in the CRT ) Joe
