I got a mini-itx board with that nice black case, PCI riser, slimline CD
and firewire card. The nice black case was essential, 'cos it takes 12V
DC input, instead of AC. Sweet. Case takes a full-size hard-drive.

Yes, but (engineers beware) Farnell now sell them. Slightly more
expensive than Mimi-ITX, but you can slip a £65 purchase on your Farnell
account easily. ...
