Hi guys,
I'm planning to start using solar power for my small base station due to erratic power supply in my area However my power needs seems to be holding me back because of my SmallWall pc.
Ok, to the point now. I've been looking around for a low power thin client and came across Neoware Thin Client on ebay at a reasonable price. My question is does Neoware EON CS7955N Thin Client or Neoware CA10 support Smallwall?
I also had a look at MITXPC but the price plus shipping is a bit high although it might be my last option if nothing else works.

More then likely, yes... Most thin clients are x86 compatible systems. The tough part is getting a slot for a second nic. Both seem to have that. Now in a very few cases, the BIOS of an otherwise acceptable system may be locked to a signed image. (Thanks, SonicWall) And while I have not seen any, I am guessing there are some thin clients not x86 based... But from what I can see, you look fine, and I would order one and try it. Do not pay over $25-30 USD, however...

That one looks good to me. Even lists the processor, and it is supported.
