I purchased on decent desktop machine and I am currently using it to run 10 different "thin clients". The "thin clients" were all destined for the dumpster. Because they don't need to do much themselves, they are quite suitable as thin clients. As a result I've extended their useful lives and reduced landfill use. This is all quite aside from the benefits to my teaching. I've saved a lot of money by using the Ubuntu flavor of Linux and LTSP software. It is all open source.
