I'm currently using a mini-ITX board in my robot, but I have a need for
something smaller and single voltage and lower power would be nice.
Must be x86 based
Must boot from RAM device like USB ramstick
Must have USB2 and/or PCI or similar interfacing
Composite Video input would be nice
Audio I/O important
I've looked around and seen a number of them, but am looking for more
optionions. The gumstick looks interesting, but too limited.

Re: What's the smallest/cheapest single board PC you've seen?
Other than the gumstix, I personally havent seen that much out there
(that's cheap).
Anybody know the status of the nano-itx boards? These looked pretty
promising.

VIA has postponed release of the Nano board several times, I have not
seen a release date recently, I gave up waiting.
Here is a link to Commel:

but you will not find a cheap MB there, just real good ones.

Re: What's the smallest/cheapest single board PC you've seen?
What about a used laptop (I know, your looking for new parts, but jsut
for development).
You can get a broken one pretty cheap, rip it to pieces, and put it back
together the way you want (it's not all one board in there).
Something like an old sony vaio should have all of what your lookin for
(dont know if you can get a usb 2.0 one "cheap")
There is also the PC104 option, but it's not an "all in one" solution.

There are even smaller ones, but they are very expensive and usually
require special connectors or base-board.
