 What is your favorite mini/micro/nano/pico-itx platform for home projects?
 
 I currently run a home server on an Intel mini-itx board but was
 looking around for something fun to play with with the following
 specs:
 
 - mini-itx or smaller, low profile
 - fanless
 - low power 12V external PSU
 - 1 LAN, preferably 2
 - 2 USB2/3
 - Flash bootable, but with option for hdd boot
 - GPIO would be fun
 - hdmi out would be nice

I'm using the Intel DQ77KB Thin Mini ITX board and it almost meets all of your
criteria.  The heatsink has a fan but it is silent (even after 12 hours
of Prime95).  This board has AMT so when used with a vPro capable CPU
(I'm using an i7-3770S), you get all sorts of nifty OOB features.

I'm using ESXi 5.1 right now but I'm pretty sure it would boot FreeBSD
fine.

 The supermicro usas-l8i

 uses a LSI chip (LSISAS 1068E SAS controller ) and works great under
 FB8.1

FYI, I bought one for my Supermicro X7SB3 motherboard and it didn't work.
I had to end up buying an Intel SASUC8I which is just an OEM LSI
SAS3081E-R.
