If you're looking for size, buy inexpensive boards based on mini-itx
motherboards. These use the Via C3 processor, and the 533MHz versions
are fanless. If the built-in NIC isn't PXE compliant, you can always
install one for $15. The C3 is x86 compatible, and fully supported
by Linux.
So all you'd need is a tiny case, RAM, motherboard and possibly a
2nd NIC, and there you have a silent X Terminal. It won't be a
speed demon, but doesn't need to be.
