This only makes sense in that ten keyboards & mice are cheaper that ten thin
clients. If you have any type of geographical diversity (including just
having multiple rooms or floors needing access) thin clients will likely
be as cheap if not cheaper.

Economically this makes a lot of sense and is trivial to do with your
average desktop linux at the low-end of the spectrum (~4 stations). I'd
wager that you'll find at the higher end (>10 stations) traditional thin
clients will be cheaper and perform better.
