[K12OSN] Starting with NO Thin Clients to PC or to Thin

[Huck]

Remove HD's, and any extra case fans...Keep just the CPU fan..PXE boot

You should be able to get old used hardware that will function just as 
well for a thin client for closer to the $50-$75 range...MAYBE as high 
as $100(I still think a donation drive is best, done by students =)...
Also...thin clients are a LOT smaller than those IBMs, workspace 
constraints?
