Get the one with serial ports, boot from a CF, bolt it to the back of cheap
monitor. It's too low power to run much of anything (puppy linux runs on
i486 SX - no floating point unit - dang that was a long time back!).

or this one:

$119 keyboard with system embedded. Can use TV as display for extra $10.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
- Speech 11/23/1900 Mark Twain
