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).
http://damnsmalllinux.org/store/Mini_ITX_Systems 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?).
