Not exactly what you're looking for, but extremely cheap.  There is a 
shop on the road that is out the back door of T-Zone DIY, between the 
two Clevery shops, selling ordered-but-never-used HP t5730w thin clients 
for about JPY 8,000 all in.  1Gb processor.  Fanless.  They're hard wire 
and WiFi LAN capable, have a 2GB card, two USB 2.0 front connectors, 
four rear USB, mike and headphone connectors front and rear.

You can D/L either WIN XP or Arm Linux images from the HP site and 
*buntu can also be made to run it.

I picked one up for Skype (although it doesn't like my camera, which 
keeps asking for a faster processor and which I will replace with a 
netbook camera as soon as Logitech confirms that it will ship the one I 
want to Japan).
