Using a t5700 from HP I was able to do 2 thing, one was a homebrew dstar repeater with 2 Kenwood LMR radios,

 

Then I did the same thing with Allstar on a MSR2000 vhf repeater, exact same harware, but the interface, one was a URI for the allstar box, the other was a dvrptr.

 

I had to replace the 1gb flas drive (44 pin ide) inside the Thin client to a small 4 gb hard disk that look exactly like a compact flash memory card..

 

It was connected to a 44 pin IDE to CF adapter

 

 

with an ide 44 pin female female cable to the Thin Client.

 

A while back, I asked for tips with virtualization. However, since it's my first time, I'd like to use a dedicated box for app_rpt.

I'm interested in a system solution that's fairly low profile, but most importantly, that's low in power consumption and heat generaton (which rules out the spare Pentium 4 space heater I have sitting around).

I've read that some have repurposed thin clients for app_rpt, with different levels of success.

Anyone have any suggestions for systems that have enough horsepower to run up to four nodes on a single box, and around say $100 or less? I'm using URIx's and USB sound fobs.

Thanks, can't wait to get going with app_rpt.

Jonathan
