Cory,

I've been running Astlinux on an H-P T5700 thin client. These are available, not dirt cheap, but I received box of them that were due to be recycled. I see them on Ebay for around $80-150. 
That's less than a Soekris Net4801 new in a case.

They have the advantage of some built-in flash in an IDE DOM card, then 4 USB ports as well as traditional mouse, keyboard, VGA ports. Also, the CPUs which are in the 800 MHz - 1.2 GHz 
range handle G.729 codecs better than the Net4801 or WRAP boards.
