The machine I use the Xorg on is still working very well. I switched from running TC on a USB stick to running it on a 40GB SATA drive, and that yielded a very useful improvement in the speed of the machine.

It's not perfect, but for a single-core 2GHz Athlon 64 running with integrated graphics, it's great. The mobo and CPU don't use too much power either: it probably averages 50watts, and peaks at about 75watts when I'm streaming 780p video off YouTube.

On a further positive note, I was lucky enough to get another HP T5720 thin client off eBay, for £25 including postage, this time with the expansion bay which will allow me to fit a PCI graphics card :-) No more problems with SiS and Xorg! Mind you, the power consumption will be higher...

Cheers, Jon.
