What are a few of the smallest FORM FACTOR desktop PC's?
Building your own laptop? I am.
I am building a portable computer or Laptop and I'm going to use a
portable DVD Monitor.
Thank you, this is important, not only to me, but to everyone who
thinks laptops are the way to go.
It will be like my own Playstation or Xbox, I'll even take it with me
in my car, probably put it in the glove box, or under the seat, maybe
even in the trunk. Hmmm... lot's to think about.
Oh ***, I will be able to surf the internet on my bed! Just unplug
from my router and BAM! Chillin under the sheets.
Thanks in advance! ~W |

I suggest you go to www.mini-itx.com
and look at some of the articles and cases.
Also look for the via website and look at the available Via Mini-ITX
websites.
There are also some Mini-Itx Form Factor P4 Motherboards. Tyan has a
Tomcat motherboard in Flex-ATX which is one PCI slot bigger than
Mini-ITX. It has 2 PCI slots rather than just one.
Shuttle has some small form factor computers in Aluminum cubical
cases. They are Shuttle XPC and are sold as Barebones Kits.
So look for some of these at different sites like the one above and
VIA's website. Yahoo had some sites like the one for Ituner which
also sells Medai Streaming Servers along with Mini-ITX systems with
Flash drives.

Claims to be the smallest. Smaller that Mini-ITX, and supports P4. A bit
pricey, but it is small. Uses some laptop components to get the size down.
