I have half a dozen thin client PCs - they're miniITX board in a

They're all 1GHz VIA C7 processors with 1GB of RAM. There is no
space in

"Laptop style" RAM by any chance?

No. DDR2.

the cases to put a hard drive - I used them with flash IDE drives.

However... The internal PSUs are fried. The motherboards themselves
are fine (well, the ones I tested) but the PSU boards are dead. The
boards would work in any miniITX case - standard mounting holes,
etc. if you cared to transplant them.

Are the internal PSUs anything like

?

No - they might work though - maybe - Not sure if the case is thick enough. I've used those in other similar systems.



They are these units:

but linitx have stopped selling them recently.


If anyone wants them I will bring them (and some 12v PSUs) to the
Exeter

Presumably these are working. I've seen similar machines where it's
been these which have failed.

LUG meet on Friday the 13th at Exwick or if no-one is interested
I'll be throwing them in the skip.

Might well be worth bringing them along.

Yes. Got 1 or 2 interests already.

Cheers,

Gordon
