Eric, you may want to consider the XFF type boxes, like those made by Shuttle (for example http://us.shuttle.com/G2_7600.aspx). They're typically about 7 by 8 by 12 inches (think a desktop about 1/4 the size of a typical mid tower). However they are fully feature desktop machines. Their only drawback usually is that they only have one or two expansion slots available, not the typical 6 of regular desktop. However their performance is usually at least as good as regular desktops but take up much less space. They're almost as portable as laptops, and are great for lan parties for instance.
