is this news?
has anyone been paying attention to the mini-itx community? Commell Systems has had mini-itx pentium4 based boards out for months in both mobile and desktop processor versions.

Re:Regular CPU and Hard Disk
Yes, the Shuttle is a Flex ATX case/board combo. Mini ITX IS compatible with Flex ATX, but is smaller. BTW, I take it you haven't been to mini-itx.com lately, have you?
This page lists a few Mini ITX boards (the P4BGA isn't, though), all socketed, unlike the VIA boards. All except for one take P3/P4/Celeron chips. -
Re:price?Well you can put one together for yourself.
The Case is a mini itx case with a fan blow hole drilled and a low profile (probably U1) heatsink for the chip.
A motherboard that supports P4s in the mini-itx form can be found here, however I don't know any resellers... google it.
The rest is just laptop parts, but I really don't trust a 55W powersuply on a P4 so you might want to replace it with one here. My guess is that it will end up being $600-700 in parts so think about $1000 retail.

All that powerful?
My only problem with the VIA Mini-ITX solutions is that even the newer 1Ghz models that have been reviewed don't always seem to have enough power to offer a regular desktop user.
I recently built myself an NES PC, and chose an alternate Mini-ITX board that was socket 370 based that allowed me to choose a more powerful CPU.
Heck, there are even P4 based boards out there now from Commell Systems.
I guess I am just wondering how long it will be until VIA steps up the performance on their EPIA boards...
