Re: [LUG] thin clients: silent, right?

from bill@xxxxxxxx
Not quite true you can run video animate even sound on thin client. Often this is quicker as the main crunch work runs on a server. At 100 Mbs just delivering video at 16 bit colour is no problem. At Dulverton Middle School we had 6 users on a PII 400 server running the same video clip from Encyclopedia with no perceptable degradation. Needs a properly designed network though.

But Axel is not the solution to all silence issues.  There is always a need
for a PC, you can't animate under thin Client.  So a Quiet PC is a solution
for a home user and a AXEL solutions a brilliant idea for thin client (
except servers. - still noisy..)

Just a thought why not use Quiet PC components within your Server.(ideas?)

We use Axel as you know, these are 290 x 290 mm Square 30 mm Deep, will
accept Monitor or LCD on Top. We Use LCD as better use of space and less
heat output, Also better on the eye.

Axel's are completely silent and very low power consumption. Completely
silent.

am I right?

So no noise to disturb the office/consulting room?

Commonest GP IT grumble apart from programs falling over is of the noise
the
PC makes in a consulting room.
