 When we were in Cebit, checking out motherboards...there seemed to be
about twenty companies with really cute small motherboards. The best I saw
was a PIII800, with i815 graphics, four serial ports, two ethernet ports,
VGA, usb, (no mouse/keyboard) in a form factor slightly smaller than a
cigarrette box. $250 though. Look, and you will find. You'll still need a
PSU for them though.
