For the Neoware thin clients there is a handy document on the HP website which you can use to identify exactly what you have. In my case the label on the side of the case just says CA2. The HP document tells me that this is an early E100 model with a P620 board type and the Model Type is BH. There is no XX-XX-XX style part number on the unit. From the serial number it was manufactured in May 2003.
Powering it up I find that it's running XP Embedded Verison 2002 service pack 2.
The basic specs are:
The case size is identical to the Eon and larger than a lot of thin clients.

Unlike the Eon the CA2 uses an external 12V power supply. The power connector is the same style as used on the Compaq Evo T20 and some Wyse models so there is the possibility of some confusion here as those models run off 5V!
Both the Flash memory and the RAM in the CA2 are easily replaceable.
The flash is a "DiskOnModule" that interfaces via a 44-pin IDE connector. There is also an alternative DiskOnChip DIL socket. (These are at the top right of the picture).
The board has two sockets that take 168-pin PC100 DIMM RAM. In the photo you can see these at the left-hand side between the heat sink and the power supply.
