A regular mATX system from newegg

$40  2.7Ghz AMD Sempron
$50  Gigabyte MB (Gb nic + pxe)
$50  Case+PSU+Keyboard+mouse
$20  1 GB ram

so for about $160 you can buy a system which is MUCH faster than an
atom. You can use them for thin clients + local apps or diskless
clients. It may consume a little more power but not a lot more.  It's
also upgradeable in terms of ram.
