anybody using OpenBSD diskless workstations?
Anybody currently running BSD diskless workstations? Expository text below. We have been working on SunRay-Windows_virtual_desktop pilot here at my office for a while. The tech seems pretty workable. Leaving aside any question of personal taste, we use windows desktops and will continue to do so. We seem to have been hit with a bit of a budget whammy. So now we are looking in to making older PCs operate as netbooted numb terminals., as least a two year interim step. My thought was to pxe boot, run x and dump them in to an RDP session to our shiney new MS terminal servers.

See http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#PXE, and maybe http://glozer.net/soekris/diskless.html Or just install OpenBSD on the old machines (assuming they do have working hard drives) and take it from there, otherwise you might have to dig into your pocket for PXE capable NICs.
