I just grabbed a quad Opteron16-core 32G ram 1U server from eBay ($805 with shipping!) for large scale TC testing as virtual machines. Wife is a tad miffed right now :-)</p>

OK, that looks pretty cool, and dual-core, too. Integrated Intel
graphics isn't the "31337 g4m0rz" speediest, but it does the job,
and it sure is supported well by X11 and the Linux kernel.<br>

Thanks for the heads-up, Jim!<br>

This seems to have enough horsepower to be full desktop for most
K12 needs but as a TC it can certainly handle running some local
apps like firefox and tux math. At $195 it looks like a great
new device. Add in that it fanless and designed for commercial
use as digital signage, it should survive a school environment.<br clear="all">
