http://www.starnet.com/ has a $200 offering called x-win32. You can download an
eval that dies after two hours, but you can restart it indefinitely 8). It seems
to be nothing more than an X-window server. We're using it here on a few
machines which have to connect to a Linux box in order to do PlayStation 2
development (weve got a PSX2 dev kit 8) ). I've had no complaints.

I used to use eXceed a few versions ago (back when 586/133 + 48MB RAM was a
pretty good configuation for a Winsloth box). I always found it came with a lot
of crufty apps that I didn't need, but I liked running the video performance
tuning thing!
