Have a look at ncomputing the L300. About 1600 per unit and you can just use a computer with windows 7 pro on as the server.

I do work with these a bit so PM me if you need and advice

@koeks ,The L300 is only 10/100 :/ need gigabit , How does the licensing work with regards to other software eg.office ?

Connection Licensing to management server ?

Did you setup from scratch or did you get someone in to get you started? any company's that advise/create a solution depending on your requirements that you may know of ?


I thought there would be a lot more people using thin clients on this forum tbh
