The folks who produce Damn Small Linux (DSL) have a store, I purchased their
$200 fanless system for a client, and while it might not be the absolute
cheapest price, it did come preloaded with DSL on flash, ready to boot, and
I (we) supported a cool linux project (or the people behind it).

The MSI Wind, desktop model, is also a very nice linux box -- if you look
for it, be sure to get the newer dual-core (Atom 330, IIRC, not the 270
chip) version.... that is not the very-new 1.66Ghz, but the first dual-core
atom (1.6Ghz, IIRC).  These are nice machines, I've done a little with them
on both 'doze and linux, and... have been readying about osx86 on it :)  I'm
pretty sure that if you google around you'll find someone who has
underclocked it to a fanless-stable configuration... that might be even
cheaper (~$150), and a much faster boxen ;)
Although I'm not sure what you'd have to do to make one completely fanless
(open PSU, or just tweak software/bios?).

Best regards,

Ben
