A UK outfit, Jadeintegration is to flog a thin client computer that fits into a wall socket and is powered via Ethernet.
The Jack PC can hook up to a standard monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and runs Windows CE, the stripped-down version of Windows often used in portable devices.
It ships with 64 MB of flash memory and 128 megs of RAM and while it cannot handle a game of NeverWinter Nights 2, it can do basic interweb functions. It runs on 5W of energy and has a built in IE 6 browser.
It is not that cheap. It will set you back between £229- £299 depending on your spec. Given the fact that you need to buy a monitor and keyboard it probably works out about the same as a budget PC.
You can see it for yourself here:

To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity."

o the ones u praying to the porcelain king
I sneak in my own house.
It's four in the morning
I've had too much to drink
Said i was out with the boys
I creep in my bedroom
I slip into bed,
I know if i wake her,
I'll wake up dead
