It mentions a company in Canada that has a system called 1-Box that, with a 
bunch of dual-head video cards and some USB hubs, can support up to 10 users on 
a single box.  It runs Linux, so if you could get it to boot its OS from an LTSP 
server, you could support a lot of users for significantly less money than the 
usual 'one fat client machine for each user' design.
