All Neoware models are sold out. I still have two HP t5520's left for $55 ea. The TermTek's should be here this week as well. Thanks for all the support...

Alpman · Posted: Thu Jan 28, 2010 4:37 pm Post subject:

Only one t5520 left...who will be the lucky one?

The TermTek's have not arrived yet and it may take a few days to get them up & running. I'll keep you posted. Thanks...

One HP t5520 left for $55 Shipped

One HP t5530 (similar specs to 5520, better on-board video, smaller case plus hidden USB compartment great for WiFi adapter, six USB ports total) for $66 Shipped

Two TermTek 3370/1G's - 1Ghz VIA CPU, 256mb memory (upgradable to 512), four USB ports (two front/two rear), front mounted PS/2 and audio, very small form factor measure approx 2"X8"X9" - for $77 Shipped

These will go fast...more are on the way, but I'll be waiting for parts from China once again...thanks.

Alpman, any more TCs coming I would like one.

Alpman · Posted: Sat Feb 06, 2010 7:54 pm Post subject:

...two t5520's, one t5530 and two TK3370's available right now. It looks like I'll be waiting for parts from China again, so these will be the last available until my shipment comes in about two weeks. Thanks.

The Neoware model e100 TC works fine. I connected a KB and mouse, and the ethernet cable to my gateway, then booted it up and loaded Teamviewer. Then I downloaded and ran the Teamviewer client on my main machine and logged into the e100 remotely. Finally, I plugged in the Majicjack and let it install itself. At first it didn't want to do its "update" and refused to run. I rebooted the TC and reconnected the MJ, and this time it worked. Presto, dialtone.

The Neoware is a tad slow for browsing the internet or doing email, but it runs the MJ fine. I plan to stick some more memory in it, which might speed it up a bit. I noticed in device manager that there were 3 unknown devices detected. I don't know what those are, but it does not seem to need them. Now I wish I'd waited on a Termtek, since they are smaller, but I'm pleased with the e100 and would recommend any of Alpman's products. They are a steal.

Alpman · Posted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 2:33 am Post subject:

...one t5520 and one t5530 still left and down to the last TK3370 also. PM me for payment details.

rwhubert -
Yes, more memory will speed it up a bit. There are two DDR slots on the mb. The three unknown devices should disappear after the next reboot. They are residuals of the mJ drivers that were loaded. Thanks for the vote of confidence...

Thanks for the quick shipping and high quality product Alpman. Very fast TC and well setup. Any chance to get a backup microdrive?

Alpman · Posted: Tue Feb 16, 2010 1:06 am Post subject:

mjb65 -

Page 4 of this thread will detail your MicroDrive backup options...available now.

All -

The TermTek's are sold out for now. The t5530 is now gone and only one t5520 remains. More to come as soon as I receive my parts shipment, but right now this is the only thin client I have available...PM or email me to confirm availability before sending payment, thanks.

Alpman · Posted: Wed Feb 17, 2010 4:45 am Post subject:

Some of my parts shipment came in today from China, finally. So it looks like I'm back in business, at least for now...

I have five TermTek TK3370/1G's available for $77 ea including shipping and two HP t5520's available for $55 ea including shipping.

I also have two EBC3610 Single Board Computer thin clients for $99 shipped. They are configured with a VIA 667Mhz CPU, 256mb PC133 SODIMM memory (upgradable to 512) and a very quiet WD Scorpio 40GB 2.5" ATA100 laptop HDD running XPe SP3.

These are the smallest thin clients I have ever used. Measurements are approx 2-1/4"X5"X6-3/4". They are also easily overclockable to over 1Ghz in the BIOS, making them the fastest TC's I've ever used. They are extremely responsive even at stock speeds.

They also have an on-board CFII slot and a second ethernet port hidden beneath the back panel, making them very versatile for other projects such as a media/print server or a firewall.

This is the very first model mJ TC I ever built and sold and has been my favorite by far. They are very unique and almost impossible to come by. I've seen them listed on ebay, unmodified, no HDD and only 128mb of RAM selling for $150+.

I personally have run two of these TC's on my own mJ's and never had even a hiccup. This is by far the best buy of the lot and there are only two available, so get them while you can...

Only the TK3370's will be listed on ebay, so PM or email me for payment instructions on the other models...thanks!!

Alpman · Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2010 1:26 am Post subject:

I'm down to two T3370's left. Still have two t5520's and two EBC3610's available as well. Thanks...

Alpman · Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2010 5:24 pm Post subject:

Only one TK3370 left. Still have two t5520's and two EBC3610's. Get them while you can...

Next week I should have some TC3350's available. They are similar to the 3370's, but use a VIA 533Mhz CPU. I've used these in the past and they make for great stand alone mJ thin clients. They will be configured with 128mb ram and two front USB ports for $55 shipped and 256mb ram with two front and one rear USB port for $66 shipped. The $66 units will be available on eBay, but the $55 units will only be sold thru the forum, so PM me for details and pre-orders.

For very budjet minded individuals who don't mind a few cosmetics blemishes on their TC, I am now offering five HP t5520's for just $45 ea including shipping...yes, I said $45!! These are in good working condition but are scratch & dent units. All are the missing front trim bezel and some are missing the side trim bezels. They are configured and will perform the same as my other t5520's. A perfect solution if plan on stashing the TC where it is not visible. These units are available now and only to forum members. Order yours today, they won't last long. PM or email me for payment instructions...thanks!!

I've also posted the $45 t5520's in a seperate thread, but there are only five available total, not ten.

Alpman · Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2010 6:26 pm Post subject:

TK3370's are sold out...thanks! All other quantities remain as above.

Just received my TK3370 in the mail today. Working great so far, thanks Alpman!

Alpman · Posted: Thu Feb 25, 2010 12:42 pm Post subject:

I just received my newest shipment of TC3350's. See the descriptions two posts above. I have seventeen total, nine $55 units and eight $66 units. The $66 units are currently listed on ebay. PM or email me for payment instructions on the $55 units. Thanks!

Just wanted to let anyone considering a TC know this is who I would buy from. I just installed his XPE SP 3 kit in my TC and I had an unusual setup with an added usb pci card and wanting to block an overloaded proxy and he was right there to help with getting working.

VoipDude · Posted: Sat Feb 27, 2010 5:19 pm Post subject:

I'd like to get one, but the wife is limiting my toys right now Smile

Alpman · Posted: Sat Feb 27, 2010 7:27 pm Post subject:

Thanks Don, very glad to help. I'm glad we were able to get it working for your application.

VoipDude-
Keep working on her. I'd love to set you up with one...

i have been have bandwidth issues with mj, do you think that the thin client will fix it? my ports are forwarded btw,

Alpman · Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2010 2:16 am Post subject:

A TC is not going to fix underlying issues as with your ISP or router configuration, however if your "bandwidth issues" are caused by other programs on your system taking bandwidth priority, such as torrent programs, then yes, a TC will resolve the issues. They also greatly improve SQ for most users simply because it doesn't have to share resources with anything else if you are using it as a dedicated mJ machine. Hope this helps!!!

Agent_86 · Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2010 1:17 pm Post subject: TC question

Hi

Does anyone know the approximate TC power consumption vs a standard laptop like an old Dell inspiron 4000

I'm wondering if the TC will use 25% less,50% less,75% less or will it use more power then a standard laptop configuration.

Any ideas ?

Please advise
Thanks

Alpman · Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2010 3:52 pm Post subject:

I'm not sure how much current your laptop draws, but most thin clients draw about 15-18W or less. I hope this helps.

Alpman:

I just wanted to thank you again! After spending days reading through post about obtaining my SIP credentials and attempting to get my PAP2 to work with MJ, I stumbled upon your post for your thin clients. This was the best $55 I've spent in a while. I don't know anyone who has a quicker turn around than you. I ordered the TC on Wednesday and had it delivered on Friday!!! That's from CA to SC in 2 days!!! I had a few questions and you answered them quickly.

Plug the device in. Wait about 5 min or so and you're off. Thank you.

Alpman · Posted: Tue Mar 09, 2010 2:55 am Post subject:

Thank you, I appreciate it. It was nice talking to you today. I'm glad I was able to answer all of your questions. Anything else, don't hesitate to call...

Hey just wondering are you all out again ?

Alpman · Posted: Sun Mar 14, 2010 10:50 pm Post subject:

I have about a dozen right now. Price and availability on all models are on the first post and will be updated regularly on that page. Thanks...

ydkjman · magicJack Apprentice Joined: 06 Mar 2010 Posts: 15

How would I go about purchasing one of these? I think I'm having issues with the Magic Jack and my router so I am looking at going this route so I can leave the router hooked up. Are you selling them through ebay or would we direct purchase them from you ?

Alpman · Posted: Tue Mar 16, 2010 3:38 am Post subject:

Check my first post on the first page and you will find pricing/availability of models. I do not have any currently listed on eBay but I am accepting PayPal payments to the email in my signature. ust select the model you wish to purchase, send payment and I'll build, test and ship it usually the same day as payment. Thanks for your interest. If you have further questions you can PM or email me.

Alpman · Posted: Thu Mar 18, 2010 7:39 am Post subject:

Only six TC's left!!! Check page 1 of this thread for pricing/availability and payment instructions. Thanks...

grm · magicJack Apprentice Joined: 25 Jan 2008 Posts: 23

Are you going to get any other TC than the 5520's and if so when. thanks grm

Alpman · Posted: Fri Mar 19, 2010 12:52 am Post subject:

I may be getting some WYSE and other HP models in a couple of weeks. I still have one EBC3610 left as well. I'm running low on inventory and my suppliers are running out of models that will work with mJ, so we'll have to see how it goes.

Hi! Two questions:

1) do you ship to Canada?
2) Does HP t5520 have Win XP embedded or Win CE?

Paul777 · Posted: Sun Apr 25, 2010 12:46 am Post subject: Ship to Canada

Yes I think he ships to Canada. Alpman I'm willing to buy two units from you. I've tried looking around here for some cheap TC's. No one comes close to your price ! Unless there are serious issues with them.

I bought 4 units for $100 through a guy on Kijiji. Out of the 4 only 1 works with MJ. The other literally hangs when receiving a call, and the other 2 are linux and one of those doesn't boot. I guess I did okay but too much time spent trying to see what the issues were and trying to find a fix. TC's are new concept for me, but just don't know enough about adding memory, flashing for upgrades to OS.

Anyway when you get back online, I'd sure like a quote for two units. I know other people with MJ's and I need one for faxing on another MJ.

If it would be significantly cheaper, as an alternate could you ship to Michigan? I do visit a buddy there from time to time and I could pick them up there.

Thanks.

He quoted me $45 additional charges to ship to Canada so I had 1 shipped to the U.S.
Unfortunately he forgot to put in a power supply so I haven't actually used it yet. I don't need it anymore though since I'm using a 5710 which works great.

What's the current availability on the TCs. The original post hasn't been updated in a while.
