Hi, Regarding Shuttle, you may try:

The problem is that single board computers are hideously expensive for what they are. You're far cheaper going for a small ATX board, perhaps coupled with a solid-state power supply if you want it silent. You'll get a much higher spec machine for much less money. The smallest motherboard I know of is the Shuttle (www.shuttle.com, but it appears to be down right now) FV24 motherboard, couple that with the Cyrix C3 450MHz processor and you won't even need a CPU fan. The board only has one PCI slot, and you'll probably need that for the bootable LAN card. I think it has LAN built in, but don't know if the BIOS supports network booting. Shuttle also do a case just large enough to hold the mobo, PSU and one card. I think it worked out at about 300 pounds sterling (....~US$420?), for the case and mobo. Add £20 for the RAM and £45 for the CPU. The cheapest single board I've found came in at £550, and that was a 486 based system. This didn't even have an ethernet interface, which cost extra. Unfortunately I was having difficulty getting hold of one of the Shuttle systems, as they don't seem to have any distributors in the UK, so I haven't had a chance to test this yet myself. This project is on the back burner till the middle of the year, but if anyone has any experience with LTSP and the Shuttle's I'd like to hear about it.
