I have picked up a few of these and they are in fact new/unused (at least the ones I got), though at this price and free shipping, you might not get the crappy Wyse keyboard. My second order of two more came without the keyboards, packaged in a Fedex box (probably to reduce shipping weight since it was free shipping). I didn't care for the yesteryear keyboard anyways, and am using a wifi/wireless Logitech MK360 and MK520 that connect with a USB micro-thumb dongle, and they work great. Mine shipped Internation Fedex Ground from Malaysia and took about 4 business days to get here. If you get an original sealed Wyse box (like my original one did), it will probably also include a Chinese/Australian "Type I" power cord, but you can pick up a cheap US "Type B" power cord for it for dirt cheap: http://www.cablewholesale.com/products/power-products/power-cords/product- 10w1-15206.php These are embedded Ubuntu Linux (10.10 I think) units. As 'admin', you can get to root no problem and even change the apt-get sources to pull in mainstream packages. I pulled in telnet, but it comes with ssh by default. You can download latest firmware free from Dell. http://www.wyse.com/products/cloud-clients/thin-clients/T50 I got mine at $60/each. These units are small enough and come with mounting brackets for the wall and/or the back of the monitor. While these are Dec 2011 manufacture date, this T50 is still sold by Dell for around $275. These are not the wifi models, btw. For what it is, a thin client, so far I have been fairly impressed. The T50 (like anything) has some issues, but Wyse does seem to be trying to iron them out with ongoing firmware releases. Of course, YMMV, but I thought I would share.
