Hey guys, I have a thin client sitting in my closet. Any suggestions on what I can do with it?
I'm not going to network anything. It needs to be flashed or whatever to reset it. Can it be used as a storage device, or maybe an emulator box? I'm clueless over here. Any advice and suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Yup that's the one
You could set it up as an emulator box, I'm not sure how new of console you could go up to but you could probably run stuff pre-PS2 with it.
PS2 is pretty tough to emulate on older hardware.
Yeah PS2 starts getting iffy. I'll check out the emulator specs now that I have more info on the client.
If I can move everything up to the Wii into it that'll save me space on my external.
I can highly recommend installing Batocera for emulation. I got many Wii games running on an i3-2120 (may require some tweaking of settings on some games) - and I believe your CPU is more powerful than mine.
I have later upgraded my Batocera-box to an i5-6400 with a low end Nvidia-card which runs Wii and Ps2 flawlessly.
Huh, never heard of Batocera before. Thank you!
Did you try to boot Linux from a USB? I would try that first
I haven't tried anything yet. I don't know if it's even worth trying anything, that's pretty much why I'm asking for thoughts.
Adding that to the list, thanks
