Found old dell wyse 5060 thin client with a good price around 50 usd.

Dell Wyse 5060

 

AMD GX-424 4 cores 2,4 ghz

4 gb ddr3 ram

gigabit LAN

8 gb internal flash memory

 

So cpu and ram should be enough to run steamcmd under linux os for example one cs go server. Changing flash memory for ssd disc is easy job.

 

Someone ever tried this or something similiar wit thin clients??

That device runs ThinOS. You may have more trouble installing Linux on it than you're expecting.

Are the SoC's that they use in that thin client x86 or are they ARM? If theyre x86 then you *might* be OK installing Linux, if theyre ARM then im not sure that SteamCMD supports any ARM distro

Steamcmd doesn’t support ARM, tested on RPi2 :/. I saw some guides how to instal normal win 10, so i presume it’s x86 but i could be wrong

You might be better off doing what I did and buy some Dell R610's. You can find them on ebay for around $250.
