That's very kind of you - the MV823S1R10E (fanless Eden 1GHz) looks
quite good. However, I already have a case, and those motherboards
aren't VIA EPIA - they're 210x150 whereas my case is for a standard VIA
mini-ITX (170x170) m/b :-(

(long story. I've found all the bits I wanted via two different
suppliers, ordered, then the one with the m/b told me they were mistaken
and can't get the m/b I wanted. So now I have a case, RAM, disk - and no
motherboard :-(

eBay looks like my only option. I can't believe that there are so many
distributors of VIA m/b in NZ, and yet they all either won't bring in
the full range - or won't get me one as a "one-off". :-(
