    I saw a VIA Mini-ITX board at the RealWorldLinux conference last April
    and was very impressed! http://www.viavpsd.com/product/index.jsp

    I have no experience with these yet (I'm still hoping to build one
    eventually), but they have ultra-low power consumption and are supposed
    to be VERY quiet. Another good site if this looks interesting, is:
    http://www.mini-itx.com/

    This one looks very nice, although a little pricey:

    Hope that helps! Good luck.
