The VIA VB8001 Mini-ITX board is 17x17 cm in dimension. 1.6GHz VIA Nano CPU Supports up to 4GB 533/667MHz RAM (2x2GB) VIA Chrome9 HC graphics 2 x SATA (3 Gbps) connectors 1 x 16-Lane PCIe slot 1 x 32 Bit Mini PCI slot 2 x USB ports Gigabit LAN 5.1-channel audio We might be seeing more nettops from Taiwanese OEMs with VIA Nano in them.
