   Those VIA mini-ITX boards (600-1000MHz Eden proc) make pretty good 
X-Terminals.  If you get a mini-case with wall-wart instead of internal 
PSU, you can run completely solid-state.  Onboard graphics are decent, 
probably better than the old xterminal had, or they have a PCI slot if 
you want high-end video.
