equipment question
I need to put some type of computer access out on a production shop floor. The production area is a very dusty/dirty area. My question is what type of equipment should I be looking at? It will eventually have to tie into a Windows 2003 Server (standard version). Are thin clients a good option? what additional hardware/software requirements would there be? any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Outstanding Solution, did not know such a device existed. I just sent in an order for 4 of them. God, I love this website.... quick answers and delightful solutions
1. Thin clients (the lack of significant hardware should help ensure the system doesn't overheat and also keep replacement costs down if and when the device fails).
2. Regular clients - but you would need to check on them periodically and often to ensure they didn't get too dusty, cleaning them out with Compressed air and a vacuum.
