Tablet for seneye reef web server

[Willbiker]

Hi all. I have ordered a seneye reef for its par meter but id like to use all of its features and there is no way I'm paying for their web server.

Who uses a tablet as a web server?. Does it have to be a windows tablet or do some of you use an android tablet with Windows emulators?

What do you use?

Not paying for theirs but would like to know about Tab idea..

Problem with the cheap Windows tablets is that the single usb port is also used for charging the battery of the tablet, so you can't charge the battery and plug in the Seneye at the same time.
Mini pc's have multiple usb ports though but you'll also need a monitor at times, which makes it not that more cheaper/user friendly as the Seneye webserver.
