Have you ever heard of the atom processor or of an ITX Board.

There is a company in the US that has created a bunch of boards with processors built right onto the board that make it quite easy to build a self contained

project for a pretty low price. The only caveat is that if you have to purchase from anywhere but the US, you will probably run into the usual border

crossing issues such as additional border fees for goods that are available in your country of purchase. No matter however, because the price is still far more

reasonable than you can imagine.

The company is called Jetway computer and they supply a variety of boards and Addon Cards that are specifically matched

with these boards.

Jetway also provides Chasis for sale with custom power supplies of which there are 3 models to choose from. The power supplies range in output power

from 60W to 120W and should be chosen based on the application. If you have any questions, then feel free to email support or have them call you direct

of which they are more than willing to do.

If you are into linux development and are a little bit adventurous, you can build a linux kernel for one of these boards, or run a version of windows capable

of running on this hardware. I, however, stayed away from that choice and chose to check out LFS (  Linux From Scratch) and BLFS

( Beyond Linux From Scratch) to get a base system up and running to get ready for a custom project. Although the project was a complete success,

I should think I mention something about making sure that one compiles all support for filesystems and drive types required

( sata/ide,ext2fs//reiserfs) before attempting to boot.

Happy Coding.
