PC in the Wall

Most women hate the bulky look of a computer box sitting on a desk. And honestly, I can’t blame them. A lot of training facilities and institutions hate the cost and administration of having full blown PCs around. Again, I don’t blame them. Chip PC is aiming to comfort all these groups with a ridiculous Jack PC. This is a thin client PC that mounts into your wall. The computer is made to connect to a Citrix or Terminal Server. The servers handle the processing of the thin client.

The Jack PC uses power over ethernet to run the device. This intergrates power and data communications into a single cable infrastructure. If this isn’t an option, the Jack PC can be run by an outside power adapter. The unit includes: 4 USB ports, external power jack, mic and speaker ports, and vga or dvi monitor port. There are many advantages for going this route. One would be cost. Now you don’t have the cost of full blown PCs. You also don’t have the cost of supporting users on a desktop. Forget standardizing images since they run on a centralized server. You also don’t have to worry about viruses on the boxes. No upgrades and security patches to worry about. The Jack PC only uses 5W of power! The life span of these units is much longer because most of processing is unloaded to the server. They come with the AMD Au 1550 RISC processor, 64-128 MB of DDR ram, 4-8 MB of video ram, and a 333-500MHZ front side bus.
