are there any SFPC's a.k.a shuttles what will take a Dothan core? id love to build a HTPC with one and a X800 AIW
 
I don't think any are out yet. There are a couple of MATX motherboards though that will take a Dothan. I believe they are still quite expensive though, $200+. I would wait for the newer mobile chipsets to start coming out, maybe then they will make their way into a Shuttle system.
 
There are MATX boards from aopen and dfi around $250 atm. Next gen chipset boards and at least one shuttle system are coming in the next few months though, and possibly a few more manufacturers will get prices down to a reasonable point.

Do what I did--get a Commell LV-671 Mini-ITX motherboard and a Travla C137 (http://www.travla.com/Products/products.html), and you have a clean, effective HTPC design that fits into the traditional HT aesthetic. It's not the standard size of a receiver--actually, it's very similar to that of a small VCR or DVD player. I can post pics of my setup--just PM or reply and I'll post some.
 
yea post some id like to see it but i wanted to build some thing that can be used for gameing as well as video name i want to put a like a 9800Pro AIW or better in it
 
It doesn't have a regular AGP or PCI Express slot, but it has a proprietary "mini-AGP" slot which accomodates a special Mobility Radeon 9600 card. I'll post pics tomorrow.
 
actually, there is a thread in the SFF forum here that has pictures of a Shuttle XPC that uses the Dothan core...but its not the traditional Shuttle case, it's more of a desktop case but still, quite small comparatively.
