Looking for something really small... like this:
http://www.acrosser.com/products/AR-B1896_detail_id_305.html
That I can install something like smoothwall, utangle or monowall on.
Any suggestions for a good supplier in South Africa ?... also looking something with a housing and PSU.
Give Centurion Micro Electronics (http://www.cme.co.za/) a try. They do SBCs of all types but I can't tell you more 'cos their site is FUBAR for anything beyond the home page. They carry IEI (http://www.ieiworld.com/en/default.asp) - but their site is (for me at least) ALSO broken, dammit - what are the odds?! Still, if you're lucky maybe they have the IEI EPIC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPIC_%28form_factor%29#EPIC) NANO (http://www.industrial-embedded.com/products/search/fm/id/?35068) model in stock... *drool* :rolleyes:

More ideas ... I doubt they are cheap though.

*bounce!* ..colour me impressedazell - TWO different suppliers (who, hopefully, would actually have stock!) of miniITX boards?! ..w00t! :D
MiniItx boards, source me the intel D201GLY2 from +/- R700 from Nivo, excellent prices on the intel mobo , the via based ones just a great big no/no when it comes to price.

Still, if that isn't a deal breaker, it's one hella compelling price!

i've got one of the first d201gly board to hit retail..had it maybe almost a year now in a carpc in the boot. runs like a dream, apart from a slightly long post time when legacy usb is enabled.
yes, it's a celery 1.33ghz. (celeron 215) (d201gly2 has a celeron 220)
not, not that type of celery..
celeron 215 is a yonah based cpu. not some p4 derivitave. a pentium-m descendant
the d201gly2 celeron 220 is more of a conroe child @ 1.2ghz.
both cpus perform well above anything via have, very nice quiet boards, and cheap as chips.
