its not cheap... but not as bad as expected....

You would need to use a nano-ITX board.

I know that VIA has some decent ones on the way and some that may already be out.

EDIT: Nano-ITX measures 4.7x4.7 inches which should give you plenty of room to build an enclosure for the bay, and I would build your own.

that may be what I'd have to do.

the Little PCs link looks like what I saw years ago...but I could have sworn they set them up to be mountable in a 5.25" bay.

I'd use it for mundane tasks (downloading, AV server, etc)...so I don't need that much power...

I'll look into a nano-ITX though..

they will fit in the bay... but i think that you have to find your own way of mounting it, (doulbe sided tape?)... i would personaly love to have one for random stuff

I still say don't ditch quality...

Just wait for VIA's nano-ITX boards.

They are not too far off and are the actual size you need without cutting corners.

Nano-ITX still isn't out yet?

When are the C7's suppose to come out?

Any chance of a Nano board with a C7 processor, anytime soon?
