One of the more common "bargain" mobo+CPU combos offered was the Amptron 8600 (made by [gasp] PCChips) and an IBM 686L CPU.
Strangely enough, I still have two of the beasts alive and working, one with the 686L and the other with the 686MX.
I have a few VIA C3-equipped thin clients that I use for things such as Linux mailservers or small systems for running gear that still requires a real parallel or serial port. A simple adapter converts the 44-pin DOM header to a CF socket with a Microdrive inserted
