I want a small footprint computer. I'm more concerned with portability than performance, but I don't need a laptop. I want a full sized keyboard and monitor, and I don't plan to be taking it everywhere with me.
Antec has a new microATX cube case. It's similar to the XPC's from Shuttle, but I don't know if you can buy an XPC case without the motherboard (proprietary form factor), so you're stuck with the options that Shuttle offers. It looks like they have some pretty good ones though. Antec uses the microATX form factor and their cube case can take 4 full height expansion cards. The XPC that I'm looking at only has 1 pci and 1 agp.
