The one I was looking at (because the local shop has it in stock) was Intel DH61AG http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/desktop-board-dh61ag.html using x86 hardware should be the safest bet, although separately buying the motherboard, RAM, CPU, an SSD disk does add up (compared to Raspberry Pi or BeagleBoard). But I think the ITX-sized x86 solution is realistic and doable NOW, while stable real-time + linuxcnc for the smaller and cheaper SoC is still in the future.
