The Mini-ITX mainboard from VIA is the world's smallest PC motherboard. Measuring only 170mm x 170mm, the Mini-ITX allows for the development of entry-level value PCs, Thin-Clients, wireless network devices, digital media systems, set-top boxes and more. With the I/O ports as the tallest components on the board (including the CPU cooler), the Mini-ITX mainboard is also becoming increasingly popular among the rapidly emerging enthusiast user group, seeing the small size, quiet operation and low profile as ideal for moving the PC to different parts of the home from stylish case modifications for the living room to in-car PCs.

Expect to see some tiny, very inexpensive and moderately powerful computers entering the marketplace in the near future!
