Does anyone have any experience with skinnybytes.com?

I’m looking for a PoE zero client that will work with VMWare View (PCoIP). I was shown an all-in-one computer that operates on PoE power at http://shop.skinnybytes.com/185-PoE-Computer-AIO-Elite-PoE-185.htm. It looks great, but they’re not very well known as far as I can tell. Has anyone had any experience with this company? I’d also be grateful for any other recommendations for all-in-one zero-clients or computers that will run on PoE.

Answer

Actually, the SkinnyBytes PoE-185 does run completely off of PoE power, or you can use the included AC adapter. The AC adapter is rated for a maximum of 19V/3.42A (60W), which is overkill for this unit which only consumes under 40 watts. This particular model sips just a bit too much power to receive power over typical 802.3at (30W), which is the reason for the PoE+ supply. It can easily be powered over CAT5e/CAT6 at a distance of up-to 100m.

The slightly smaller 15.6″ AIO is 802.3at compliant and consumes under 30W of power.

Hope this helps!
