how to replace desktops with think client and terminal server

We're in the phase where we may decide to replace all of our desktop pcs with thin clients and terminal server. But I'm a bit hesitating because desktop pc with oem windows license is so cheap. I need to do research what setup is needed for server and hardware and license cost. If you have done similar project, can you share?


Environment will be as following;

20 clients, 7 of them need microsoft office. rest need just widnows and will take reservation (custom software loaded). Windows 7 needed.

I guess I need one terminal license for each concurrent client accesses and windows 7 license?

Yep, the custom software is terminal service safe. I tested with 5 default RDPs, seem working fine. I checked the price of thin client, ranges to $300 well, I would just forget and buy Dell PC from ebay, it seems really not suitable to our environment.

Thank you guys
