What is the smallest mother board made?

[postalp123]

Technically, Micro-ATX.

But there are custom MB's out there that go in Cube kits.

There are always the Mini-ITX and Nano-ITX systems:
Mini-ITX tends to be about 6"x6" (http://www.via.com.tw/en/initiatives/spearhead/mini-itx/)
Nano-ITX tends to be about 4.7"x4.7" (http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/nano_itx/epia_n/)

I have just heard something mentioned about a new format called Pico-ITX, but I haven't seen much of anything about that.

It's inside my Mac Mini







I am already anticipating using it in a cab when it's "old-fashioned in about 5 years time"

Ugh. That's a Mac thingie.

You asked for the smallest......and what's wrong with it being a Mac ?
Runs Windows fine if you really want to.

I suppose the OQO would qualify - it's a full system

Whoa, now that is awesome.  I've been waiting on a pocket system like the Tapwave Zodiac, but with enough processing power for emulation.  Plus you can watch videos/movies.  This thing sounds perfect.

Ever heard of noRh?

I have some of their marble speakers and they are VERY VERY VERY nice.

Anyway, they have a division called noRhtech and they make micro PCs.
I am looking at getting a PANDA from them as my HTPC.

There Microserver GP even has TV out!
Also, look at the bottom of the page and there PDA thingy has what looks like directional controllers which would be awesome as a portable MAME machine!

Prices are really good too. For both Hi-Fi equipment and PCs
