[App_rpt-users] Simple node

[Alan Adamson]

You guys are the best. :).
 
I think I pioneered this type of node.. .I use the dn2800mt board, with an
SSD drive and small case. 
 
I know I can go that way, am looking for even cheaper options (hoping to
stay small too). 
 
Ramesh sent me some info on these thin clients that I need to check out.

All, I think I know the answer to this, but figured I'd check again. Yes I
know I could do an RTCM (I have 5 of them already).  I'm looking to get
another family member (new ham) up with a personal node.  Was hoping that
someone might have done something around the Beagle Bone as the Pi seems to
no be up for the task.  I could live with simpleusb if needed.
Are there any *inexpensive* options to get to a functional simpleusb type
node?  If so, what are they?

Here is the latest fad in WAN land...

Intel D2500HN Main Board (about $65)
2G memory (about $12)
16 G Solid State hard drive (about $40)
Case and PS (about $50)

So, for about $175 you can have a new box that runs the standard distro that
isn't too large and is quite reliable.  I have built 6 of these systems that
are replacing older Dell and HP machines that were junk when I put them in
service, but have served quite well.
