No I hadn't considered it since I did not know it existed. Did not even know of an ITX format. This is really sweet!!! More expensive that I had planned on but I might just bite. I was going to use a board just smaller than a Micro ATX (9" x 7" IIRC), that would support a Celeron 300 and cost US$24. But you're swaying me. I'll have other things going in my case (like a EFI-engine controller) so my case will be very custom. Thanks, -Neil.
