When looking at Embedded PCs the first thing you should decide is how much
support you will need.  If you don't need support and want inexpensive
products try some of the non-U.S. companies:
Advantech               http://www.advantech.com/
Aaeon                   http://www.aaeon.com/
Adastra Systems http://www.adastra.com/
Axiom Technology        http://www.axiomtek.com/
(funny how they all start with an A?)

If you feel that you will need support and are willing to pay for it, try
these U.S. companies:
Ampro           http://www.ampro.com/
(inventor of PC/104)
WinSystems              http://www.winsystems.com/
VersaLogic              http://www.versalogic.com/
Micro/sys               http://www.embeddedsys.com/
Octagon Systems http://www.octa.com/

Hope this helps,
