Hey folks,
Yes it's me again that annoying guy who is always asking stupid
questions. Anyway, I'm bored (oh no I hear you cry) and would like to do
some messing around with mini-itx. I'm just wondering if any of you
linux peeps(I include myself in that statement) have had any experience
with mini-itx and linux in general and maybe know of some good sites
that sell mini-itx stuff.
Thanks in advance!
~Jon Nihill.

MiniITX.com and LinITX are two places that you should have a peek at.

I have a little M-ITX machine ... they aren't cheap... i recommend them
only if you have a purpose, really, although they are very fun to mess with
:)

They look nice to deal with and some of the more powerful motherboards
would make great desktop replacements you could hide them away anywhere.
The only sticking point for me is the expense they are pretty expensive.
I suppose it's a toss up between size and price. How does your system
fare with linux Kris?

The chip is a VIA 1.2ghz C3, dual LAN, 4 USB2, 512 RAM, runs Ubuntu really
well considering... Though the graphics, I think its VIA, arent too good,
and the support for effects and games are none-existent.

Try it with the E17 desktop - it looks great on hardware with
a quarter of the horsepower of your ITX :-)

Sorry, I can't help it but I always 'wickedly' think of a certain 'boy
band' when I hear of that desktop ;-) Shame because it does indeed
look a very good DE.
What are these ITX boards you are talking about? Are they the mini
VIA boards I read about a couple of years ago? Ones that can run from
a MMC drive?

A friend of mine has a Mini-ITX as a car pc, to run GPS, MP3s, videos etc, although he
uses Win 2k rather than Linux. Pricey but when you consider most come with processors
(albeit slow-ish ones) not quite so bad. You certainly used to be able to buy them without
and put in your own intel chip, don't know if that's still the case and money
would have to be no object!
I'm trying to find a reason to buy myself a Foxboard: http://www.acmesystems.it/?id=4
- about same price but way smaller....

I cant justify spending money on more computer equipment I always get
the urge to buy something then the missus drops the "we're moving" on me

drop the missus - cheaper to find another model, possibly write that
off as energy efficiency savings? ;) hehe
(Yes Richard, I mentioned saving cash on electric... before you point that out)

She just 'took her love to town'.... you may have to be a certain age

A certain ex-Beatle decided to do that.... now he's £24,000,000 worse
off. Mind you, he's still got a couple of quid in the bank ;-)

ah, he shoulda told her to jog on or he'd have her killed, she clearly
didn't deserve it - she didn't appreciate it!
