I have an eBox 2300 that I bought for testing.  It has the advantage over recycled computers of being very small, having no fan, and of being new equipment.  At $106 each, it has an advantage over purchased thin clients of being nearly half the price or less of its competitors.  It would be great if it worked and worked well.  If it doesn't, it doesn't and I won't buy any more but I think it's a shame.  I guess I'll go with recycled Pentium-IIs and IIIs instead.  They are certainly easy to come by.
