I know nothing about these guys other than what's on their website,
but they seem to be aimed squarely at the lightweight-Linux-box
niche:

1. Small low-power motherboard for small linux server
I'm looking for a small (preferably Micro-ATX or smaller) motherboard
for a small, sit-in-the-corner-and-do-the-job linux web server. For the past
three years I've used a Micro-ATX DFI motherboard with a K6II-500 CPU and
a Via chipset, but I'm now looking for a little bit more CPU power. It
has to be rock-solid-stable; I expect uptimes measured in years. Low
power consumption for maximal UPS hang-time is important; my current system
only draws 50W or so and the UPS can ride out power outages of a few
hours.
I highly desire on-motherboard video and network support so that there's
no need for any cards. Low power consumption is a must. I don't care if
the CPU is AMD or Intel. No intensive graphics will be done on this box;
I don't even install X11 and video usage will be limited to text console use.
The Asus A7N266-VM comes close. It has on-motherboard video and network
support, and I could put just about any Duron on it. My only concern
is that the onboard Nvidia Nforce GeFORCE2 video is way overkill for
a plain-old text console, and that it'll suck more power and generate
more heat than necessary.
On-motherboard video, I suppose, could be skipped if good support for a
serial console exists in the BIOS.
I will probably continue to use a single IDE hard drive in the machine,
but if someone has a good suggestion for a small motherboard with on-board SCSI
yet still with low power consumption then I'll listen.
Any recommendations?
Tim.
