Mini PC Recommendation/Setup

[jimbofoxman]

I am looking for an inexpensive Mini PC option to basically run one Windows based program for our office. It's just for essentially keeping a active schedule on the wall as ours in all done electronically and subject to change several times a week.

I would like to have the monitor and mini-pc mounted to the wall, I'm guessing by VESA mounts. Or I guess it could be a inexpensive All-in-one. Doesn't have to be high powered, it's a simple program really. We could run a LAN line but I'm thinking Wifi.

Any thoughts?

Jim, I use one of these with out any issues and its mounted to the back of a flat screen monitor with velcro. http://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Fanle...=1450127937&sr=8-4&keywords=mini+pc+with+wifi

But I'm not sure what version of windows you need.

How about an all-in-one?

Thanks Palmfire, I'll check it out. Windows version doesn't matter. Everyone running this program on their own PC is running on Windows 7.

Yeah Ketchup, been leaning towards an all in one. By the time you get a Mini-PC, monitor and keyboard/mouse you are already there.

Excepts the Inspirons come with Windows Home and we would actually need Pro to connect to our domain to access the file.

So to correctly answer PalmFire.....we need a Pro version of Windows.

Jim, you could go with the first link I posted using something like Windows 7 Pro 32bit with out any issues. You can also go even cheaper and buying a Raspberry Pi 2 and loading it with Windows 10 but you do need some skills to set it up.
