Those VIA mini-ITX boards (600-1000MHz Eden proc) make pretty good
X-Terminals. If you get a mini-case with wall-wart instead of internal
PSU, you can run completely solid-state. Onboard graphics are decent,
probably better than the old xterminal had, or they have a PCI slot if
you want high-end video.
