Actually, Tyan's web site describes the form factor of the Thunder
K7 (S2462) as "Extended ATX", 13" x 12". Fortunately, Tyan has an
upcoming board, the Tiger MP (S2460), seen at x-bit labs
(http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/story.html?id=996098640). This site
(apparently just quoting Tyan information) says that the board with have
a regular ATX form factor, 12" x 10.3", and will use a standard ATX
power supply, albeit at least a 300W one ("20-pin power supply connector
(300+W, +5V = 30A+)").
