I thought all A7N8X boards had MyLogo, it's been around since before their time. I know for sure the VM and E versions support it. Maybe MyLogo is available in a BIOS update for your motherboard?
The VM version is the only one with onboard VGA (its got a GeForce4MX GPU), and NewEgg has them for $69 refurbished.
I'm also thinking of trying out using a CompactFlash card as a hard drive in a cab, does anyone know where the best/cheapest place to buy a CF->IDE adapter is? They don't seem too common.

If you REALLY want to go diskless. I have an ISA romdos boot card laying around.
You would of course have to get new EPROMS programmed for what you wanted it to have, but it would be totally diskless.
I have tested it with quite a few computers, almost ALL pre pentium 2 motherboards would boot off it, and some newer ones will as well.

You could also use a mini-itx board ( http://mini-itx.com/store/default.asp?c=2#p304 ) that has the built-in compact flash reader. I don't know if there is a way to hide the boot screen though.

The MyLogo page doesn't list every board, if you want to check, just look up the board in question. Also, the VM has onboard video (GF4mx), and is microATX, so it's 245x245mm not 305x245.
MyLogo2 boards: (MyLogo1 only 16 colour)

There's a page here that has a feature matrix for the ASUS boards. The third and fourth columns list "MyLogo" and MyLogo2"...
