I don't remeber exactly where but I once saw this really cool dumb term
box the x,z size of a floppy and a couple inches tall.  Explore the
links on the ltsp.org website and one them is for xworkstations.com or
something like that. They're logo is the X with sorta rainbow colors.=20
They have some really neat terminals. I would've bought one but for the
price (~$300), I can build my own, just not that small.
