You haven't defined what you consider to be cheap - if you're thinking
less than a grand, and you don't mind used, try an auction site like eBay.
If you're thinking less than 2 grand they're around. Some vendors are even
pre-loading Linux - which solves the question of whether X is a lost cause
on it, if nothing else. <plug>You could see if Tuxtops' "value" model fits
your definition, it's approx 1500 but you can tweak.</plug>

ARM is an importer, and some of the major brands are really ARM under the
hood.
My past experience with Sager machines was good, but their customer service
sucked. Good thing I never needed tech support from them. It was, however,
so many years ago that my knowledge maybe completely invalid. No experience
directly with the other names named.
