You're not looking for anything special at all.  What you need is an i386
family pc which has:

  - standard PXE network booting
  - >= 64MB RAM
  - Pentium 2 or above
  - supported video chipset

You might get away with lower spec, but this minimum should work. A "Wyse
Winterm" would work if it really is one of the above but I don't know
anything about them (some of these run WinCE from a ROM chip).  As I
understand it, one of these should do the job admirably:

I haven't tested these though so don't come suing me if they don't :-)
