I've built hundreds of ITX computers.

I've used Via CPUs with their ITX format motherboards to build hundreds of Point of Sale comuters for many happy customers.

With the quite small ITX motherboard, a small 3.5" hard drive and cool-running 1Ghz CPU running XP, thermal issues are no problem.

The final product is small, reasonably priced and easily fits under a touch screen monitor.

Really, the only problem with these small Via-based computers is dust and dirt. The store owners seem to *never* clean them and over time normal convection currents pull dust, dirt, grease and bugs into the system finally causing them to overheat. Can't blame us or Via for that! LOL!!
