Not a cheap solution, but two things come to mind:

1) At least one manufacturer is building an all-in-one pc a little thicker 
than a standard flatscreen with disk, cdrom, ethernet, etc.

2) I really drool for one of the Sony 10" laptops, but I haven't heard whether 
anyone has been successful loading linux on one of these beasts.
