PC's without the PC

For work I have been looking at some solutions for deploying multiple PC's without having the footprint of a full PC on the customers desk. Some choices are Citrix, Blade PC's (where the PC is 1 of many PC blades in the server room) and now VMWare ACE
I like the blade PC idea - I have heard the device that is on the desk is even smaller than a thin client. Only problem (some would say advantage) seems to be there is a one-for-one relationship between number of users to number of blade PC's. This generally adds to hardware and running costs.
