VIA's Miniature Motherboard

The VIA EPIA PX10000 Pico-ITX motherboard standard is the smallest regular commercial motherboard available. Its obvious tiny size will allow it to fit in tiny boxes - think small SSD hard drives too. The low power requirements (max of 16-Watts) are also very attractive to manufacturers. Unfortunately, the 1GHz CPU isn't the most capable, so hi-definition video (above 1024×768) simply isn't possible - thus ruling out this motherboard for HD TV applications. There is a lack of cases for motherboards of this size, and manufacturers aren't willing to create them for the limited market (which may be limited due to the lack of cases…). There are also no central Linux drivers provided. With these issues and limitations, it is unlikely that the Pico-ITX platform will spark general market appeal, but that probably wasn't the point of it.
