I'd like to buy/build a PC with the form factor of a Mac Mini. Suggestions/references?

This, if it actually gets released.

Look into the mini-itx mobo form factor.

Best answer: Here's Gizmodo's rundown of small form factor PCs.

The Shuttle series isn't that small, but close.

There's a nano-itx form factor out from the same guys as mini-itx (Epia), but it's unclear whether it's actually purchaseable at the moment.

Buy a Mac Mini? :)

Sudhian's SFFTech is a good site for SFF resources.

(I love my Shuttle, but Hoojum cases are even snazzier.)

Sadly - and despite looking amazing - the nano-ITX boards have been delayed again. Reading between the lines on this page, they're still a long way off. Mini-ITX is still the smallest mass-market form factor currently available.

I'm doing something similar (at a glacial pace), and I'm using an EPIA mini-itx, fanless.

I'm going to put the whole thing in a wooden box that I'm going to build, about the size of a shoebox but shorter.

Wait for the intel ones next year?
