Hi Y'all I am currently developing my own box which will carry an ATX Flex board in a very small package(W14",D8 3/4,H2 1/2) with an optional clip on "cable tidy" cover if you want the connectors to the front. I am likely to make the box/PSU available for nominally over cost ($100?) to LTSP subscribers, partly to do my bit to undermine MS, but mostly, because the LTSP, and etherboot groups have been very free with their time in helping me. I will also have one slightly higher to take a CD/DVD, Fdd, and Hdd (Server ?).
