Where are the cost effective (cheaper than a PC), graphical, diskless network appliances/X terminals?

As I am looking to build or buy a new home, I started planning a home computing system for the house from scratch. What I have in my head is some beefy server and cheap workstations (graphical diskless thin-clients) throughout the house. I have read some up on the Linux Terminal Server Project and envisioned an amazing system possibly involving intercom (VoIP), home chat, controlled web access (I have kids), Myth TV, word processing, presentation and central fax & print. The software seems to be there for the right price. The hardware is another story. I have not been able to put together this architecture cheaper than just buying and networking full fledged Windows systems for each room. Isn’t there supposed to be a cost savings with this architecture? Am I after a 2001 dream that everyone else knows has already failed? I am tired of spyware and viruses and updating multiple systems with various patches. Is it going to cost more for less?

Does VoIP phones work better than the headset?

The question is related to the quality of the comunication related to the usb phones and the classic headset.
Does the usb phone work better than the sound card system (I mean, the headset)? Is the same? Cuold you find any difference in speed of data processing?
The question is bassed in the lag of the beggining of every conversation I make with Skype using the headset. Should I buy the usb phone?

Is VOIP better than Landline phone service?

Just wanted to do a little comparison, I had both of them and I think Landline sounds clearer, and it works when the power goes out. Then there’s VOIP which saves you a lot of money and gives you all the calling features, but the sound quality isn’t as clear as landline. Also VOIP will not work when the power goes out. Overall, which is considered to be more reliable?
