Well having just installed 30 mini-itx thin clients,
What do you want from the motherboard ?
try www.ultim8pc.co.uk
with the really cheap case £36
I built the thin clients including a 17" monitor, mouse and keyboard for
under £200 just add on the hd and CD and you could probably get a
working system iincluding monitor for £300
So come the first of september i'll have rolled out 100+ thin client
network, gotta love bootroms and PXE for converting old PC's :-)
