The Incredible Shrinking Motherboard

DrGonzo was among several who submitted news of the new Mini Motherboard from via. The Mini ITX standard is just 170mm squared, and this motherboard has audio, ether, IDE, video and tv out. Not bad for something so tiny. Here's an article about the small wonder.

Smaller == Better??

I know the craze in the computer industry has been to make everything smaller, but there are those of us out there who still like to see large motherboards. I mean having a computer that is the size of a toaster is cool, but when you try and upgrade it's pretty much imposible. Add to that the increasing ammount of on board options that come standard (some of which are difficult to completely turn off if you want to use your own sound, video, or drive controlers). I'd just like to see a full size board that can be upgraded easily and has slots to put many cards in.
