I'm a big fan of the Jetway barebones cases, I have this [1] one, but didn't need huge amounts of processing power. They also produce an Atom-based one [2] that is awfully similar processor-wise and uses standard RAM (not notebook). The main thing that brought me to them was their full-height PCI slots - the number of drive channels didn't count much as I'm just running on a SATA-to-CF adapter anyway. The only problem I had was that the PCI slots are *just* barely large enough, my 4-port FXP card almost didn't fit. The Atom Jetway, 512M of memory, a SATA/CF adapter and a 4GB CF card all together cost about as much as that motherboard by itself. Is there any specific reason you need 4GB of memory?
