I would go for the new VIA SN10000EG board.... http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/motherboards.jsp?motherboard_id=550
2 network ports (1 of those gigabit), 4 sata II ports, built in CF slot (for embedded linux fun:), mini pci and a pci-e slot.... fan-less as well. I currently run freeNas and SC7 on a CN10000EG board but I am going to upgrade as I need to add more storage, 4 sata II ports on a mini ITX are killer!!
