since you want to spend money for it then you can buy a hardware wallet. but if you want to run a bitcoin client like a full node and also contribute to the bitcoin network then you can run core but then you say it is mostly off!
if you don't want to spend money then a live linux on a USB is good enough, and that is what i use but i have disabled the network so there is never an internet connection.

Well Trezors are really the thing now with the best Bitcoin Wallets. I'd check that out if I were you. It does cost $100 though - but for users holding larger amounts of Bitcoins that could be a worthy investment. Hardware has really come a long way with these wallets.
This topic was started in 2011, OP last posted in 2012 and is long gone. Why would you dig this up?

Trezor is $100 Ledger Nano S is $60. If you have more than one bitcoin you really should use one of them.

If u want buy something dedicated for bitcoin wallet, there are Trezor like hardware "pendrives" that are virus/trojan proof and its secure way to spend/store bitcoins.
Trezor is most known and quite expensive, there is couple cheaper alternatives.

Yes, I would agree with this. If you only need a Bitcoin wallet then there's no need to buy a whole machine. November 01, 2016, 04:18:53 AM

What would people recommend for a moderate cost bitcoin client machine now?
This would only be used for a secure bitcoin wallet/client. No mining, not a general PC, not even web surfing, probably mostly kept turned off.
I was thinking a cheaper laptop that didn't have wireless (if that's possible to find) that runs ubuntu?
Or, maybe a mac laptop?
Or, maybe an old PC/laptop that I reinstall with ubuntu, or is there a better OS to use?
Or, some kind of linux off USB with a persistence file?
Or, some more specialized hardware device that I don't know about?
Does anyone have something setup that they really like for this purpose?
