These thin clients are actually cheaper and more useful than the
Raspberry Pi and other small, one board computers. About $30 (or less)
shipped if you're patient on eBay. They aren't ARM though, they run
Intel or AMD (on the 5060) 64 bit CPUs. Very low wattage, no fans, just
a big heat sync.

How many GPIOs does your thin client have :) The Canakit for the Pi 5 has
a cut little fan, about 1 1/2" square. I can't hear it although I do feel
a little warm air.  Cooling is recommended for the 5; push it too hard and
it will throttle down otherwise.

I don't know what a GPIO is, but I'm guessing it has something to do with
input and output(?) — maybe for a camera? My WYSE 5070 has seven standard
USB ports (five 3.x and two 2.x) plus a USB-C port that doubles as a Display
Port. A speaker jack, a headphone jack, a 9-pin serial port, two standard
Display Ports, an add-on VGA port and an Ethernet port. WiFi is optional. I
do have a WiFi card on another WYSE 5070 but not on the one I use. I
normally use Ethernet cables for my computers.
