And they scale very well too. My university had entire labs running off of old Sun Boxes (granted, rather large ultrasparcstations) and you could use X-windows on any of them without hardly ever noticing a slowdown, whether compiling, web browsing, etc.

that really is a good idea. i knew of thin clients, but that still dealt with an entire box.
