I still think that add-the-numbers get-a-shock applies. EG I use fanless VIA Eden boxes from http://elx.com.au Tiny, professional, and quiet/low power. I would not trade for a shared type solution. One of my customers is using a flat panel with PXE client built in. Very polished. 0-to-LTSP in, oooh 30 secs. Mail me and I'll get a ref url.
