Only disadvantage is that is uses SODIMM to reduce the board size but the laptop memory costs about the same as desktop DDR3 right now. Using Tiny XP so it boots very fast. Power consumption is minimal and there is no fan.

Cool, I had planned on using TinyXP as well. What about screen res, the monitor I'm using has a native res of 1680×1050. Would it be able to drive that screen size ok?

I've got a Zotac NF610I-K-E Mini-ITX motherboard with a Celeron E3300. I'm running FC15, Xfce, and the nVidia kernel driver for the onboard GeForce 7050. Handles D&D Tower of Doom without issue - was playing that a couple of days ago with the video bezel enabled. I couldn't do that on my previous machine which was an Athlon XP 3200+.

Running my screen at 1280 x 1024 which is perfect for mame. Have never connected a wide screen monitor.

Screen res doesn't seem to matter, the one I had seemed to be the same whether at 800x600 or 1280x1024. Its the processor buss speed that is the real issue. Like I mentioned... Something that has 4 "virtual" cores ran slower than a single core of a similar speed.
I think it comes down to just a bad design. Small yes, but compatible... No.
If you need power/horsepower, just go with a regular ATX but if size is a REAL issue, the mini ATX could be the answer.
