I currently use a fan-less Via board with integrated 686 compatible CPU. It's been great, but it's now 7 (?) years old so it might be time for an upgrade. Wonder if they still make them, they never got the attention they deserved. Edit: The boards are called EPIA and come in different sizes: http://www.viaembedded.com/en/products/boards/ http://www.viaembedded.com/en/products/boards/ Mine has this processor - It's not Intel or AMD, but "Pentium compatible" :) cpu0: VIA Esther processor 1000MHz ("CentaurHauls" 686-class) 1 GHz Edit 2: Seems like these haven't matured a lot, and are expensive and hard to come by compared to other mini-itx boards. Do like the fanless, integrated processor on mine though, and that the power consumption is really low.
