I know that a good number of guys are running streaming scanner feeds (Windows) on thin clients, with appropriate trimming down of components to squeeze into the limited memory and resources of a thin client. They are also inexpensive, I believe.

Maybe that hardware would serve this purpose well?

It begs the question on what hardware really works 100% and what does not. I
ran into this years ago running a global pactor III network and finally had
to go to an acceptable hardware list as some hardware came real close to being
fully compatible but would sporadically do weird things for no apparent
reason... a bad thing when the box is in remote jungle locations... It boils
down to who has had the least amount of issues with motherboard a vs. b and
so on...

I am looking at small micro ATX form factors for example... anybody have
suggestions for a inexpensive repeatable reliable solution?

Michael,
I still have not figured out what causes this issue.
I have tried adding two different NEC chipset USB PCI boards and that made
it much worse on my ASUS mother boards. I believe I have pretty much
exhausted all options at this point. I just don't know why all 8 of my boxes
2.8 GHZ (all Asus) do this. I went to slower boxes (even down to 400 Mhz)
and I don't get this issue.. Go figure.

...On a side note, has anyone found a definitive cause for the occasional
motorboating/stuttering audio when an AllStarNode transmits?  I have
another machine that I can use, but I would like to know what causes it
and how it can be eliminated or reduced. This is the only thing that has
marred an otherwise perfect experience with my AllStarLink node.

Michael.
