Hi Jason,
basically I have a similar setup running here. I had 10's of old PC's P4's
mainly and I just took out all the drives from them and used them as zero
clients (being no type of storage on them whatsoever apart from RAM).
what you are looking for are VGA's that have a driver supported by the OTC
image. Nvidia cards are a good way to start cause that is what I use when I
have video issues on clients that do not support the video chipset on the
on board VGA and can get only to 1024X768.
When I need new clients I use this motherboard model:

In Malta they cost around €80 but you need a 24 pin ATX connector ideally
so you would also need an additional PSU. they use more or less 15W~20W of
power when powered on

Luke Camilleri
