RE: Home Media Server PC - Mobo & CPU?

["Hawes,Timothy Edward \(GEG\)" <haweste@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark,

I didn't see too many constructive suggestions ;-)  but I have spotted
this in an industrial automation mag:
http://www.commell.com.tw/Product/SBC/LV-671.HTM

A mini-ITX mobo with onboard Gig-LAN and single PCI slot. IIRC you can
get a two-slot riser card for some mini-ITXs, dunno if it would be
compatible with this one though. Usual other features of the mini-ITX
range and it takes a Pentium-M so shouldn't be *too* much of a slouch.

I couldn't find a price, but I'm sure a bit more googling would give
that up too.

HTH,

Tim H.
(P.S. I can email the bit from the mag if you're interested although
it's just a re-hash of what's on the URL above)
