I standardized on these: http://www.logicsupply.com/products/jt_t_1610 $193 (diskless) gets you these advantages over the Alix3: 1.6 GHz Atom CPU powerful enough to run localapps Upgradeable 512 MB to 2 GB RAM for localapps DVI + VGA graphics GigE Supports 3D graphics (ex: compositing desktop) Works unmodified on a stock LTSP setup Of course it also comes with some disadvantages: Slightly larger case at about 1.5 L Higher power consumption at about 12 W If size and power consumption isn't a big issue and you don't need DVI or GigE you can go even cheaper with something like a 3 L Chenbro PC78131 and an Intel D410PT for around $130.
