I can't find one.

Needs:
Integrated RAID 1, preferred if it was SATA and not sharing the PCI bus
Integrated video
Integrated lan, with very strong preference for gigabit

Extras:
Integrated sound
Integrated IEEE1394 - preferred if port(s) are on the backplate

Performance is secondary to the feature set. Smaller form factors are preferred but not absolutely necessary.

That one'll be tough. Maybe the Abit NF7-M or Asus A7N8X-VM with a PCI SATA card?

Make sure you use two sticks of RAM, because the integrated video will kill performance without dual channel.

EDIT: The Asus is smaller (3 PCI 1 AGP) if that helps the decision.

people who use integrated video could care less of their video performance. most won't use it to play games.
