    Dumb terminal

    Hi:

     

    The title to this thread is not what I want (they probably don't exist now).However, I would like a really small PC that will have wireless capabilities, perhaps a DVD drive and minimal storage capacities (about the size of a mac-mini or smaller). I would then like to connect this to a TV in the kitchen.

     

    Does anyone know of a product that matches this description?

     

    Thanks

    If  you're into PC's then Asus might be an option with eeebox http://www.asus.fi/product.aspx?P_ID=feOf1lR3z93Xf3OQ

     

    Just being curious - what are you planning to do with it?

    Hi:

     

    I have built a media server using xp pro, this is connected to the house wifi network and accessed by all machines in the house. I use itto stream films to my beovision 1 in my bedroom.

     

    I have an MX 4000 in the garage doing nothing and I would like to put it to use in the kitchen. This would otherwise need to be connected to a laptop to stream media to it. However, I have thought about whether a thin client machine would do the trick.

     

    I have asked someone on eBay but have no experience in the area of "proper" networking so it is all a bit of an experiment.

     

    Thanks
