[Asterisk-Users] Low cost box for hosting Asterisk and atleastoneTDM400p - THIN CLIENT MAYBE?

[Wiley Siler]

Depending on how many users you want to support and price, there are
lots of options. 

Smallest form factor will be SOC (System on Chip)
These are little more costly and not going to carry a huge load.

Next would be Mini-ITX
A bit bigger and will carry more load.  
VIA is the king in this arena though you can find some amazing parts
that are based upon the Pentium M now.

Micro-ATX and up after that.

Cheap and small are not really synonymous...

There are several wall mount types of boxes if you want to really secure
a PC in a no monitor/no mouse case.

Hi,

Actually I guess what I am looking for is semi-sealed box that I can add
1 or 2 PCI cards too. A regular PC work work in most cases since I do
not want a keyboard or mouse attached to it. I do not want users
screwing with the system. If it is sealed with no monitor/keyboard/mouse
then they can't screw it up very easily. I guess I am looking for
something that is somewhere in between a PC and Linksys router box. One
possibility might be a thin client box, but I haven't found any sources
for an OEM box. I looked at the HP
(http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/thinclients/index_t5000.html) thin
clients but I can get a Dell Box for the same price that does more.

Thanks
