Lisa: You might also want to consider Nettop-class machines, like Acer's AspireRevo, full-function, standalone PCs in a tiny form factor, fanless and quiet and use very little power, and generally sell for under $500. Only drawback is they don't have optical drives onboard. Newegg.com is selling the AspireRevo with 2 Gb RAM, 160 Gb hard drive, Gigabit Ethernet with Windows 7 Home Premium for $329.99. And you won't have to burden your server with terminal services. Jeffrey Pike Technology Services Librarian Groton Public Library Groton, MA 01450 [log in to unmask]
