[K12OSN] New thin client recommendations

[Todd O'Bryan]

I can recommend these cases:

Without drives, there's plenty of room for a microATX motherboard, and
I put in a dual-core Athlon processor. The only fan is the CPU van,
which vents directly to the outside of the box. The version I ordered
had two USBs on the front, but didn't have the microphone and
headphone ports. (The ones on the back work fine, but that may be an
issue depending on what you want to use them for.)

I've ordered 13 so far, and had one power supply go bad after about 6
weeks. The company did an RMA with only a limited amount of confusion
(mostly I had to convince them that it really was a power supply from
one of their cases). We ordered a board, CPU, and RAM, and my students
and I put the 12 together in a couple of hours. Total cost per machine
was about $175.
