+ 4gb Hitachi MicroDrive, adapter, and cable. $135 shipped.

manasota

OH, OK. I thought this was about Magic Jack. What's an OP and PBX?

manasota

So a Magic Jack will run on Linux?

manasota

Go with 512mb RAM and a Hitachi 4gb Micro Disk with a ribbon cable for storage. What that you'll be able to install a full or a slimmed down version of XP.

Where the heck do you find a NVS280 for $15-20 ?

Ebay. $20 shipped.

manasota

I don't think that unit is up to the task.

stroths wrote in his sticky that it worked in a 5720 but wouldn't boot in a 5710. But, it may have been the brand of RAM he used?

manasota

What OS are you using? I think I read with a full version of XP you can increase the RAM to 1024. I haven't tried it although I would like to.

manasota

Read the HP instructions for installation. I believe it's either an ISO or self extracting file.

manasota

Nice! The hard drive under the VGA. I may have to try that although I'm pretty happy with the Hitachi Micro Drive. I still think you may want to consider some sort of a small fan. That VGA is going to get hot.

manasota

I'd like to know how you were able to install both the VGA and a hard drive. Can you post a picture of your install? Aren't you worried about heat? You might want to install some sort of a small fan.

manasota

Install Teamviewer on both machines. It won't pop up on your main computer but at least you'll have access to it.

manasota

I'm moving in another directions and need to raise cash so I'm selling the items listed. The VGA is a 64 mb with the dongle and the expansion bay fits a HP 5700. Sold as a pair only.

Selling for basically what I have in them. They work as they should, nothing wrong with them. $55 Shipped

manasota

I have a HP 5700 thin client. I bought the expansion kit and video card on ebay. If memory serves, I paid $25 for the expansion and $20 for the VGA including shipping. I'm a patient shopper so I wait until I find a deal. The VGA should come with a dongle to hook up two standard monitors. The drivers ...

The NVS280 comes in both flavors. That's the one I use and it works well.

Don't pay more than 15 or 20 bucks.

manasota

The video is shared. If you want to increase it, you'll have to add in a PCI card.

manasota

You can a video card using the PCI slot. You'll have to buy an expansion kit which includes a riser card and a new cover that has room for the card. I added a 64 mb card to my 5700.

micheal wrote:$160 . Are you interested?

Your proud of that one.

manasota

It has Linux because that's all it will run. It doesn't have enough resources to run XPe, and CE won't do you any good with a Magic Jack.

You need a more up to date thin client.

manasota

It looks like that model is going to be underpowered running anything but Linux or CE

manasota

I have some spare parts leftover and I'd like to put one together for my daughter. I have the RAM and DOM. Not looking to pay ebay prices.

manasota

I couldn't get FLP to install on the MicroDrive. I't can see the drive for some reason. I chose another thin install named "XP Gamer" It weighs in at 366mb with the page file disabled. I'm pretty happy with it as it has most important features and only 17 running services even with Sygate firewall ...

manasota

Most likely one of two things. In the MJ menu, switch to headset is checked or the wrong driver is loaded for USB internet phone by Tigerjet. That driver is available in the support section.

manasota

I would just use stroth's image if all you want to do is MagicJack. It's plug and play.

manasota

I'm using it as a web terminal as well. Actually, I haven't started my tower in weeks.

I bought a Microdrive on ebay for $10 shipped.

manasota

IDE adapter. I works like a charm with a version of windows named "Stripped to the Bone". I could just leave well enough alone but what can I say, I like to tinker. I'm going to spring for one of those micro drives even though I'll be loosing 50% of the storage capacity of the CF card that I'm using ...

manasota

Excellent, the problem I have is that it doesn't recognize my 8gb Sandisk as a hard drive. I have a thin install of XP running on it now and didn't have any problem during the install. I want to use the Sandisk utility to enable it as a fixed disk but when I boot into DOS I can't see the C drive ...

You have to be real lucky to find a deal on ebay. People are bidding 6 days out and running up the prices.

manasota

I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself. Try to get it going. If you get stuck, post here. That always worked for me.

manasota

Might be worth $4.41 to find out.

manasota

OK, I got it all set up with the Quadro. It's definately leaps and bounds over the stock 8mb. With streaming video, it depends on the source. I'm happy with the upgrade. The resolutions and refresh rates are insane.

manasota

I guess just need an expansion bay here, I would try to look for the expansion bay at my local suppliers of peripherals... if I could use a VGA that is higher and that would be fine for me...

I would scour ebay. You're going to pay through the nose through a parts house. I picked the expansion ...

manasota

I'd rather use a thin client and keep cool. $8 x 12 =$96 that I'd prefer not to give the blood suckers at FPL.

manasota

I've lived in Fl since 1979 and have never lost phone service. Electricity, is another story.

manasota

Hurricane season is rapidly approaching.

Just enough to run the thin client, cordless phone and monitor for a few hours in case of emergency. Good/cheap?

WOW! Where can I get one for that price?

[I did mine myself. I only have $80 in the way it sits with a 1gb/512. I use it for an internet terminal as well as hosting the MJ.

Man, (pun intended I see remarks like this all the time. Would you please tell us how you did it so cheaply?

Typical: Thin Client 5710 $80, 1 GB Flash $20 and DDR ...

Bought an HP t5710 512/512 from a seller on ebay that was preconfigured for magicJack. Got it today, plugged it in to the wall and the gateway, stuck the magicJack on the back and instant service. Did not have to hassle with anything to get it running. The seller includes TeamViewer on the system ...

There are a few posts scattered throughout this forum, but you can find some of them in this thread

From what I remember, the stuttering will still continue. I never tried it myself, so I can't really say that for sure.

He's ...

manasota

This is from the HP site:

- Factory T5720 512/512 (SiS 16MB shared): 36fps
- T5720 with NVidia NVS280 64MB: 140fps
- T5720 with NVidia NVS280 64MB latest drivers: 145fps

Quite an improvement but I don't know how those numbers translate into real world performance.

manasota

I'm half way there. I picked up an expansion bay on eBay. Now, to find a suitable VGA.

manasota

Nobody? Well, I guess I'll be the guinea pig.

manasota

But a 64mb card should take the load off of the processor.

manasota

Has anyone tried this? Will it stream Youtube without stuttering? Is it worth the investment?

manasota

Thanks for the reply. I got it to work by increasing the size of the RAM drive. I tried to install some other software and kept getting "not enough disk space" errors so I increased it to 64 megs. Might be a coincidence but at least it works now.

Actually....I think the date/time just needed ...

manasota

I just got a thin client set up with stroths image but the Magic Jack won't connect. I can log in, but that's as far as I get. It keeps saying "connect to the internet". The splash screen after I enter my account password recognises me. I ran the Magic Fix with no success.

My network works.
