Hi
I currently run my LMS from a year old HP laptop (Win7 64bit, 6GB ram, dual core 2.4MHz), but have just come across these "Thin Clients" (never heard of them before):

I know nothing about alternative OS's from Windows XP / 7.
I have a 500GB music library on a USB-powered external HD attached to the laptop (I only turn this on when listening to my Squeezebox music or doing other things on it).
So I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to standalone servers / micro computers.
Could I just buy a Thin Client preloaded with Win 7, install LMS, attach USB drive & go ? What considerations do need to think about ?
thanks
