Figure I might chime in with the gps unit I got and if your in Aust i think its probably about the best deals i've seen that has a pps line (theres also another one they have if you can do smd soldering thats cheaper again).

I also happened to have a wyse terminal (x86 based) http://www.wyse.com/products/hardware/thinclients/S10/index.asp that i picked up for around 30$ (currently running ubuntu 10.10 server without too much drama).
