[LHA-misc] Tiny motherboards

[Mike B. <bap...@cc...>]

VIA just announced a motherboard using the 'Mini-ITX' form factor.  This 
thing is SMALL - about 6.5" square and it includes built in Audio, 
Video, NIC, etc plus a PCI slot to boot for whatever I/O it may not have

Plus the C3 Pent III clone (800MHz) it uses often can be run with just a 
heatsink (no fan) which means it'll be quiet.

Boy what fun it would be to put embedded (or even normal) Linux on this 
baby and hide it somewhere.  Shuttle had a nice small system in teh 
SV24/25 series (http://www.shuttleonline.com/spec.php3?model=sv25) but I 
imagine someone will come out with an even smaller box based on teh 
above board.

Sigh - so many toys, so little time.
