As you're asking, we're using these (MSI Wind pc)...

Again no ps2 ports and an external power supply (small one), but a nice
form factor, very quite (we don't put in a hard drive, but you have to
tie up the cables inside or else they can interfere with the one small
internal fan), low-ish energy use, VGA video output.  We haven't tried
local apps on them yet, but the Atom seems to be a great little
processor, works well for our Netbooks.
