What sort of processing power are you after in a PC board ?
It isn't really fast, but I have bought one of these Alix 1D boards (http://www.yawarra.com.au/product.php?productCode=HW-AX1-M). They aren't cheap at $315, but for something that runs off a 12V 0.5A plug pack, its pretty good. It doesn't have a fan and produces very little heat.
I've installed Windows XP Pro SP3 onto a 16GB CF card and it starts up pretty quickly.
It'll play 576i video without any issues, 720P starts to get a bit jittery.
Basic specs are:
Performance: 500 MHz AMD Geode LX800 CPU, 256 MB RAM
Storage: Compact Flash card or Microdrive and 2.5" HDD
Power: 12V DC external power supply (2.5mm internal). Uses about 5W at 12V DC (excluding miniPCI and PCI cards).
Interface: GPIO, battery-backed real-time clock (RTC), buzzer. An I2C header is also included.
Connectivity: 1 ethernet channel (10/100 Via VT6105M), 1 miniPCI slot, 1 3.3V PCI slot, 2 serial (RS232) ports (console/on-board), 1 VGA port, keyboard and mouse ports, audio out and microphone ports, 2.5" IDE connector, 4 USB (2 ports/2 headers), LPT header
Form: Mini ITX
Size: 170W x 170L (mm)
Weight: 250g
