Pity the Pico ITX doesn't fully support Vista and SATA drive (connector but no cable). The VIA marketing guy at CES 2007 said it could be used for car Internet. Centaur Technology say the VIA C7 CPU with "Isaiah" architecture released this month will give high performance at low power. See TechnoVoyance.com for other developments of pico sized PC's.

Before I thought twice, I ordered it. The case is the size of a 5.25" CDROM drive; so you could pop it into a PC as a baby-real symbiotic alien device. Anyway, this weekend's project has been the making of two good machines from three. PATA, BIOS, reconfigurations and reinstallations. AUSPCMarket had it listed as a ‘new thing’.

Pico-ITX are impressively small/quiet for integrated stuff, maybe for my WHS box? Where did you get the VIA ARTiGo? Pico-ITX are impressively small/quiet for integrated stuff, maybe for my WHS box?
