A delegation of the Locolab visited the Computex hardware exhibition in Taiwan last week. Many low cost and low power solutions were present at this exhibition. However, we found that our needs were very specific and we have not been able to find a complete tailored solution for education. This means we will have to design our own solution. Generally speaking, there were two kinds of low power and/or low cost solutions available: Ready made consumer solutions (like the new EEE PC from Asus) or industrial appliances (for instance to be used in ATM's or kiosks). Our educational PC however, needs a slightly different approach: The industrial appliances are too expensive, and the consumer products are not sufficiently adapted to the harsh Cambodian situation where heat, dust and humidity will destroy the latest shiny consumer product in no-time! They also don't have anti theft measures and lack a ruggedness which is needed in schools. We have focussed on the different elements which allow us to design our own solution: Motherboards, power supplies, Solid State Drives (SSD's), computer casings and screens. Our findings will be posted to this site in the next few days.
