I beg your pardon, but I have been running a VIA based mini-itx box for over a year now, and except for some initial case fan problems, it is ROCK FCSKING SOLID.
I have the following board Migrus C787-1.5G D3N-P I also have another system with the same board minus the ethernet daughter card, it also had crappy case fans which I replaced, and it has been solid for over a year as well. Check out www.caseoutlet.com. I like these systems...
