I am using the m100,which is the itx box I think you mean.

I have from time to time had a stack of these things in my office, with a
T21 auth/fs/terminal front end. They boot quite fast with either linuxbios
or pxeboot.

The only issue is they're slow for computing. The celeron-based 9grid
nodes at bell labs, same clock rate (533 mhz), are about 4x faster for
compute.
