Have a look at www.mini-box.com they have Mini-ITX enclosures and 12 VDC 
power supplies along with the mainboards for the Mini-ITX systems.
A number of my amateur radio friends use them mobile for Linux servers 
for Automatic Packer Reporting System and logging.
Some of the mini-box cases come with mountings where you can actually 
mount the computer in the back of a flat panel monitor using the
VESA mounting for wall mounts. Makes a real neat package.

My own system I have a bare bones Shuttle K45 with a Dual Core processor 
and 2 gigs of ram.The onboard video works well and motherboard parallel 
port drives the Gecko 540 fine. Though I would like the mini-box system 
mounted to the monitor better, almost like a laptop but without the 
laptop restrictions.
