New Moskaluk Prototypes

As I continue with my Solar Experiment I noticed that I have to enclose the low power PC Engine wrap boards. I purchased two distinctly different enclosures one being plastic and the other being metal. These outdoor prototypes can be fasten to walls, pole, lightpoles, almost anything, as seen here.

I have also purchased a NTA's Thin Client and reprogram it with Locustworld's open source. This unit is extremely well built and contains, CF Flash card, PCI riser extension over the motherboard, two fans that can easily be disconnected, RAM, and are one of the best indoor enclosures I have ever seen. I added a senao radio card as well as pigtail and 8 dbi omni directional antenna. It works well. I noticed that the bios did not have the power setting to automatically start up in case of power failure. All in all NTA has very good thin client that can easily be modify to a MeshAP. The unit cost about $149 US. Add in the radio card, pigtail and antenna will drive the cost up another $100 US. So for under $250 dollars you have a very good indoor MeshAP.

I added a Morex case to one of the MeshAP I have previously mentioned as a size comparison.
