Dell’s FX160 “Tiny Desktop” (I call it a thin client) is available with XPe or XP Pro. It’s also based on the Atom.

 

XP Pro for nonprofits is $50 or so.

I’ve found the following:

 

Planar PT1510MX Touch Screen Monitor --- $339.99 (Tiger Direct)

ASUS Eee Box w/ XP Home and 1.6 Atom(fanless is cool) --- $350 (CompUSA)

Windows XP Pro (AD integration) $??? (help me out here!)

 

-OR-

 

Cybernet 17” Touch Screen $1,109 base ($1,215 w/XP Pro OS & Pentium D 1.8)

 

If XP Pro is less than $300 I’ve got an all-in-one for less than $1k. The Cybernet is the best deal I could find on a configured all-in-one. It has a 17 in. screen and I would prefer a 15 in.

 

This seems cost comparable to thin client and TS backend. Bring on the heavy hitters.
