I am wondering if such a thing exists. I am looking for a small computer (board, etc..) that I can literally just put a usb drive on in order to boot from, and then it get its power from USB or CAT5e. Any ideas?

Because there are so many possibilities, please tell us what you need it for. Does the screen have to be powered too? – Posipiet Sep 19 '09 at 5:11

Scope out the JackPC line http://www.chippc.com/thin-clients/thin-clients.asp They run a RISC processor though, which may be limiting.

How is a RISC processor limiting? – Amuck Sep 19 '09 at 6:53
The relative (to x86) lack of software is limiting. – Stu Thompson Sep 19 '09 at 8:16
It can't run full-blown windows and it needs a Linux distro compiled for it. – MDMarra Sep 21 '09 at 23:19
