title: Cheap embedded WCFclient
body: <p>I have been tasked to find a development board with the following requirements:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>The embedded system is supposed to connect to between 1-8 [minimum 1 LCD monitor maximum 8 LCD monitor but keep it one for the simplicity at this stage]</li>
  <li>The data(a JPEG or GIF at this stage but could be a webpage in future) to be shown on the screen is coming from a WCF service running on an external IP address from internet. The choice of Binding on WCF service can be your choice. BasicHttpBinding for instance(security is not an issue at this stage). Bandwidth is not an issue at all. WCF setup on the server is highly flexible which means our service could be SOAP based or REST based or whatever which is more reasonable.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Should we go for an embedded Linux board or Windows CE board? The reason for this question is cost factor as Microsoft boards are more expensive than Linux boards.
  What would be the cheapest board which I could potentially find to consume a WCF service. Cost is a deciding factor in this project. What are our options? Are there any projects out there doing something similar?</p>
