For comparable performance you can retrofit an old netier XL2000 on ebay

In these days of commodity PC pricing running X-terminals isn't really cost
effective. You'd be better off buying 10 - 20 identical PC's loading and
configuring one, and then clone the drive for the rest.
Using X-terminals will likely cost more per unit, and produce more load on
the server,

We used to build (well my colleague did that) X terminals based on a
thin configuration of freeBSD (must have been version 2 at that time)
that we ran on diskless computers booting from floppy. At that time we
