This is an e-bay auction for (get this) a "BRAND NEW HP Compaq Thin Client t5515 Series Terminal" [running a transmeta "crusoe" chip, no less!]  Current bid is about $50; "buy it now" is $150; bidding ends in about 22 hours, but there appear to be several instances of this or a similar terminal "up for bid"

What I failed to include in my copy/paste was the fact that this is a LINUX terminal -- check out HP's product page: (and note also that "new" these run a little over $300)

(click the "specifications" tab)

I might have to get me one of these...
