I started down this path about a year ago and never got to ordering the parts. I have 5 daughters and need to get a better view into what they are doing on the Internet! I am looking to build a fanless mini-pc to run Astaro and came up with the following: Fanless Case: ITX-PF/L01 DC Aluminum Fanless Case Processor: Intel Pentium M 1.7GHz 533MHz 2MB Cache Motherboard: VIA VB6002G Pentium-M Mini-ITX Motherboard Cooling: Heatpipe for VIA VB Motherboard System Memory: 1.0GB DDR2 533 PC2-4200 240-PIN MEMORY 2.5" Hard Drive: Slim 2.5" SATA 80GB 5400RPM Hard Drive Slim Optical Drive: Internal Slim-line 24X/8X CD-RW/DVD Combo for Mini PC Accessory: BR-1007 Quick Detachable Mounting Bracket The VB6002G motherboard has dual built-in nics that are listed as: VIA VT6107 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Controller VIA VT6103L 10/100Base-TX Ethernet PHY Controller Does anyone know if the above configuration will work? I was originally going to go with a VIA EPIA PE10000G board that has been proven to work, but I can not find a fanless case with the proper heat pipe to fit it. Thanks! Bobby Please excuse my typo in the topic, I put in about 15 hours at the office today and my eyes are losing focus :-)

I started down this path about a year ago and never got to ordering the parts. I have 5 daughters and need to get a better view into what they are doing on the Internet!

I am looking to build a fanless mini-pc to run Astaro and came up with the following:

Fanless Case: ITX-PF/L01 DC Aluminum Fanless Case
Processor: Intel Pentium M 1.7GHz 533MHz 2MB Cache
Motherboard: VIA VB6002G Pentium-M Mini-ITX Motherboard
Cooling: Heatpipe for VIA VB Motherboard
System Memory: 1.0GB DDR2 533 PC2-4200 240-PIN MEMORY
2.5" Hard Drive: Slim 2.5" SATA 80GB 5400RPM Hard Drive
Slim Optical Drive: Internal Slim-line 24X/8X CD-RW/DVD Combo for Mini PC
Accessory: BR-1007 Quick Detachable Mounting Bracket

The VB6002G motherboard has dual built-in nics that are listed as:

VIA VT6107 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Controller
VIA VT6103L 10/100Base-TX Ethernet PHY Controller

Does anyone know if the above configuration will work?

Morex makes a fanless case, I believe it's the T3310. It's a little hard to find, but a few vendors seem to stock it.

I doubt it'd cool most Pentium-M's very well though... usually people run the 7-9watt VIA CPUs with it.
It seems to be impossible to buy the Ultra Low Voltage Intel chips, which can use as little as 5 or 6 watts.

BTW, There's a big discussion of the Jetway Mini-ITX systems in these forums... search for 'jetway' if you're interested.

As far as the compatibility on the VIA board, I'm not sure.

If you can get the output of 'lspci -v' from a recent linux kernel on that board, it would be helpful.
