The ones I evaluated were small rectangular blocks about 2"*2"*6" so still very small. You could use these at home if you run linux as most of them will run an x terminal but these things really are not much more than dumb clients. Some do have a native web browser though.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Phil]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on JackPC, the in-wall thin-client]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/31/jackpc-the-in-wall-thin-client/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/31/jackpc-the-in-wall-thin-client/</guid><description><![CDATA[If you read the description, there's a port on the back of the device to connect ethernet to it..and stuff.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[hoob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on JackPC, the in-wall thin-client]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/31/jackpc-the-in-wall-thin-client/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/31/jackpc-the-in-wall-thin-client/</guid><description><![CDATA[Damn, now we have to upgrade our walls every year...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[enko]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on JackPC, the in-wall thin-client]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/31/jackpc-the-in-wall-thin-client/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/31/jackpc-the-in-wall-thin-client/</guid><description><![CDATA[As a contractor, these things are mega el cheapo.

I mean, for big business this makes total sense. Why buy a bunch of CPUs to sit on the desks of every employee? Just jack your keyboard, mouse, and monitor into the wall and start working. All of the software and files live on the server which really makes sense for a business. <br><br>I'm sure it would just obliterate the IT costs of going around from moron to moron fixing their CPUs.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on JackPC, the in-wall thin-client]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/31/jackpc-the-in-wall-thin-client/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/31/jackpc-the-in-wall-thin-client/</guid><description><![CDATA[HOLY CRAP!
