Have you considered the VIA EPIA platform along with an ITX case ?  The
motherboard was =A390 and the case was =A360.

Of most interest to you, there is also a link on this page for =
compatible
cases, one of which (Cupid 2677) used a 12V DC input !!

I have just build such a machine (EPIA, Cupid 2677, 15" TFT, 256Mb =
SDRAM,
40G HDD), and it runs Windows 2000 just fine.

Mark

Really?  Where?  I've searched and searched, and all I found
was PC/104-type boards at close to $1000 a piece!  And many
still using 486-level processors.

My requirements are simple -- small size, 300-400Mhz processor
(I was thinking Celeron since they were designed for cooler
operation that the PII's, etc), and perhaps 2 PCI slots.  Need
to support 2 HD's and that's all.

Would love to hear of anything you've come across that meets
these needs.

Up to this point, I'm planning on using a Micro-ATX MB (or just
smaller like a Shuttle MB) in a custom case, with no removeable
drives/floppies/CD's, etc.  Transfer of files, etc will be via
USB or ethernet.

Cheers,
-Neil.,
