What you can also do on PCs, getting no moving parts on them at all.
With the current prices on PCs, we are simply using PC hardware and
turning them into Thin Clients with no moving parts at all. This will
probably cost you 30-40% less than a Thin Client. And it is upgradeable,
managed from a central location etc.

We still haven't changed most of our PCs over to thin clients yet.. I
just
removed all the M$ networking, and left them with a plain old TCP/IP
stack,
and then modified system.ini so that mstsc.exe is the shell instead of
explorer.exe.. Now, the machines boot and launch the RDP client
immediately.. Just like a thin client, without the expense of replacing
something we already own..
As the PCs break down, they are replaced with WinTerms.
Our other facility was built ground-up with WinTerms. They are
currently
just over 2 years old, and we have no current plans for replacement,
other
than broken ones. They work much longer than PCs do because there's no
moving parts (not even a fan!).

Do you guys have a hardware Thin Client replacement strategy? Say, for
PCs, every 3 years? Or do the Thin Clients just go on working more or
less forever?
