  Console system for J-PARC Main Ring (MR) was designed in 2007 and had been used for accelerator commissioning and operation since then. It was composed of 20 diskless thin clients and 10 terminal servers. Both of them are PC-based computers running Scientific Linux (SL) as their operating system. Migration to ordinary fat clients was planned in 2013, triggered by update from SL4 to SL6, based on use experiences of those thin clients. Intel NUC is selected as a result of preliminary investigation. Its evaluation is carried successfully out during commissioning of MR. Presently 10 thin clients have been replaced by fat clients. Migration scenario and technique of managing fat clients are discussed.
