The Soekris net4801 and net5501 have lower power consumption (15W and 20W respectively when fully equipped, significantly less if you don't stick a hard drive or WLAN adapter in it) and are fully supported. The only caveat is that while the chipset has built-in audio support, I'm not sure if there's an audio header on the board. Regarding the eBox, I've seen far more powerful VIA EPIA-based thin clients in the exact same enclosure shown on the front page of compactpc.com.tw. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
