These mini-ITX systems ( http://www.mini-itx.com/ ) look very exciting ... "The Next Small Thing", as the subtitle claims.
At the equivalent of around 10,000-15,000 pesos (without monitor), no need to go to the used Pentium II market anymore for cheap/thin unix servers/routers/desktops! It sounds like they consume less power (no fan needed) and take up less space, and have more CPU power/memory than used Pentiums IIs. With an LCD monitor, they could be a cheaper alternative to the batteryless laptops like ECS Desknote.
Is there any store selling mini-ITX (motherboards, cases, or complete systems) in Philippines yet?
yes there is, but they wont sell it to you at that price. but they will at thrice the price (SM Megamall). =(
i've already contacted a local distributor of VIA
(which pioneered the mini-itx) but according to them,
they dont have plans to sell mini-itx in the phils due to the absence of demand. =(
you can order it abroad, but the shipping costs about twice more than the mini-itx board. =(
can't wait to use it on my personal embedded Linux app, a home entertainment system.
