Your PC in a wall socket
Posted by at July 9, 2006 12:09 AM
This has to be the ultimate low power PC. This intriguing device plugs directly into a standard RJ45 wall socket and is the first computer to use Power-over-Ethernet. It consumes as little 5W of electricity yet offers a 500Mhz AMD RISC Processor, 4x USB ports, 128mb RAM, 64mb of flash memory and support for 20bit Stereo and DVI Video. It ideally needs to be connected to a Terminal Server and supports both Citrix ICA and Microsoft RDP.
The obvious advantages are the less desk clutter, improved physical security and low power consumption. Whilst this environment wouldn't suit power users or PC gamers it strikes me as the ideal low cost platform for libraries, schools and Universities.
