Damn Small Linux and old thin client as a nettop

How I turned an old thin client into nettop PC in a simple way. This nettop can be used for e-mail, internet radio, surfing the web, facebook and other social media. Low cost, low power consumption, silent - no cooling fans.

@pdiddles03 Hi! It needs more memory (min. 512MB) to run flash player required by Hulu. Didn't try Puppy but it should be Ok. HP box works fine as a small web server based on Debian 5.

@Todd82TA Thx for yr post. Good to know that film was heplful

So could this be used to play xbmc, boxee or watch hulu on it? Or would puppy linux be a better candidate for something like this? Seems like it might make a great web hosting server for someone starting out also.

Cool! Great idea mounting the hard drive to the inside panel of the case. I just did the same thing to my HP thin client and used your idea.
