I have been buying second hand Neoware Capio and Eon's off eBay.com. I can usually get them for anywhere from $5 to $35. They work great with LTSP. I bought my first Neoware new for about $350 and will never do that again. Units on eBay.com often come with scratches and sometimes with cracked face plates but for the price it is a great deal.
If you buy the Eon's they have an expansion slot for a PCI video card upgrade, they have a crappy on-board video chip with very little RAM. Both the Capio and Eon can boot from a PXE server. They do not have much CPU power so you would not want to run local apps but they do work great. I have mastered my own Linux distribution to setup an LTSP server with PXE enabled out of the box and there is a lot of help on the Internet on how to setup a PXE server.
