Your kids must young as a thin client wouldn't cut it with mine, have they discovered Minecraft yet?
I have a 11 and 15 year old and moding games and running minecraft servers and skype, ventillo with headsets on all the time music going. Recording youtube videos - youtube playing all day. Multiple player games, with more kids coming over and lan parties - thin clients just don't cut it. God I wish had this setup when I was there age. Good Luck. Dave.

I'm looking at re-jigging my home PC's and network setups in an attempt to lower the levels of required maintenance. Currently have following * Server - Core 2 Quad, 8gb ram, raid 5 array (<2tb), + 2 x 2tb hdds, server 2008 R2 OS (non domain) with hyper-v vm's. * Desktop - Core 2 Duo, 8gb ram, 4 bed's, Win 7, printer, scanner, several dev VM's (vmware), apps, etc.. * Media PC x 2 - old Dell mini desktops with extra hdd's, xbmc, Skype, 802.11n wifi cards and with wireless keyboards. * plus laptops, tablet, phones... I was looking at keeping with 2008 r2 server (just beef it up more), and then having thin clients to replace desktop, and new terminal for kids, and also replacing media PC's with a 'media device's of one sort or another. What are you using? I would welcome people's experiences in this area and suggestions.
