Hmmmm, well not free, but ...

Forget the server box; you have to buy the hardware no matter what, some
is just more expensive than the others.  I suppose the major complaint
you are making is the cost of the client software.  

Back in the days of yore, around 1991-2, Sun was replacing all their old
Sun-3 (Motorola 68xxx based) boxes with SPARC based stations (Sun-4
line).  During a period you could buy a Sun 3-50 or 3-60 with 17-19 
color monitor for next to nothing.  There was a feely available boot
kernel that could make these function as X terminals.  Not free, but 
darned close.   Sun did not like the concept, and offered folks a
princely sum if they traded in these boxes.  Sigh,  End of a good deal.
