No I'm not.  I would like to build a handful of cheap computers with no
floppy, no cd, no hard disk but I need the processing power of the PC.  IOW
the PC needs to power up. Load windows from a server, load a program from
the server and go to work.

Terminal server is generally a full on pc that boots off its own hard disk
and then loads TS client (from its own hard disk).
