The site ended up being http://www.disklessworkstations.com/. Due to the graphics and the ability to plug in my more perpherals this may end up being the way I go. However at $349.00 it seems weird that I can get a full linux box from Wallmart for $200.00 however because of the size the fact that its quiet and because of the graphics I may still go this route. (wonder how we'll it'll render 3D games and if I can swap graphic cards). Carl P.
