I wonder why nobody makes motherboards based on mobile cpus... like the athlon mobile chip or the Pentium M. I think it'd be pretty remarkable to have a small, low-heat machine (much like this "nano-itx" board), but be powerd by a small 56W AC Adapter (no moving parts to make noise) and be super fast (Pentium-M speed, not crappy 1GHz C3 speed....)
I think I saw somewhere that some company was releasing a Mini-ITX mobo that supported P4 chips, but I don't think it's out in large numbers yet.
