HP T5735 is along the lines of what you want. Sold as a thin client, it also makes an excellent, low-power thin server when running a LAMP stack. Or you could just use a beat-up old laptop, which has the advantage of battery backup when the power goes out. chris. _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
