Very interesting! This is precisely the kind of experience I was looking for. We won't use the clients for VMs or games, but merely for office software and web browsing. I am thinking about fat clients so they can make full use of their graphics cards, i.e. they need to run their own Linux plus Wine - and above all Firefox etc. I was told here in the list that even gigabit network is not good enough to compensate for the loss in graphics power with thin clients, and it seems to me that nearly all folks here meanwhile use fat clients. Do you have experience with the fans in such i3 and i5 systems, could we run into any trouble with the noise here?
