I wouldn't really recommend a RiscPC. My suggestion would be either the
Rebel.com NetWinder or the Chalice CATS. The former is probably a bit more of
a polished product and is a rather cuter design, but the latter is rather more
expandable since it has standard PCI, ISA and USB ports, not to mention
memory and disk. Either should be quite well able to run X and networking.
In CPU performance terms the NetWinder is somewhat better as shipped, though
you could probably wind up the wick on a CATS to the same level if you felt
the urge.

I'd avoid the ARM7500 based ones; their performance won't exactly be stellar.
I don't know enough about the others to comment really.
