This is a bit random but one for IT people and there are a coupla questions, hardware isnt really my bag, and answers appreciated for a project I want to work on
Can you get a keyboard with 2 USB ports build into it
Do you know the cheapest to run Energy saving monitor, the cheaper the better and size doesnt matter, and what does it cost to run vs a standard PC with 17" monitor vs the cheapest/most cost effective energy saving one with a raspberry PI (as a rough % I need to be able to say with a PI and energy efficient monitor vs PC and your current monitor we can save you x% on electricity bills/licencing + reduce your delivery bill and save you desk space whilst reducing your companys carbon foot print and saving you money)
I know these questions should be directed at an IT forum but NSC never fails except in the whats this pub post so I thought I would give it a shot with [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] [MENTION=785]clippedgull[/MENTION] @beorehelm [MENTION=1225]Wardy[/MENTION]stwin and other clever ****ers on there
So long story short I want to create the cheapest station and energy wise that can do the following reduction in electricity bill is the USP
Run Linux (Centos) on a PI (Mounted behind the screen)
Run a browser (Chome)
Linux Open Office
A SIP phone (Xlite or Voiper)
1 USB port from the PI mounted at the back of the monitor, connecting to the keyboard with two USB ports connect to a USB head set and mouse
Your thoughts geeks? Cost efficiency is the key on both hardware and running costs. If I had 300 screens and PCs vs 300 PIs and Energy saving monitors how can I work out how much that would save?
