They're old, and corporations that have them are dying to get rid of them, so you probably could get them for free. They also PXE-boot quite nicely, though a BIOS flash sometimes is needed. Then, you could spend, say, $100 a pop for a decent LCD screen. Much easier to read, and much easier on the kids' eyes. --TP <div class="moz-signature">_______________________________ Do you GNU!? <a href="http://www.gnu.org/">Microsoft Free since 2003</a>--the ultimate antivirus protection! </div> Shawn Maggard wrote: <blockquote cite="mid27c92d660703292031q7d14071ehad5aebc732a8da23@mail.gmail.com" type="cite">Hmm, I agree with you on that. The only reason I would consider doing this is if I could get them all from one spot and know for sure that $60 per machine is a done deal - $60 per client with good, working monitor - no more no less.
