Looking for the smallest X86 currently available

[davea0511]

I'm looking for the smallest X86 compatible system currently available (including the box). The smallest one I have been able to find so far is this:

http://www.lex.com.tw/case-light.htm

dimensions are: 4.9cm(H)x23.4cm(W)x17.7cm (D)
in inches: 1.9 x 9.2 x 7

And I'd use the MV823A Motherboard: http://www.lex.com.tw/News/920918.htm
in a fanless setup.

Anything smaller out there that would run a desktop OS?

http://minipc.vulcan.com That one is super small but I'm sure it won't be cheap when it hits the market. It includes a 5.8" LCD. 🙂

http://www.tiqit.com/specs.shtml This one is like a non-foldable version of the above one but both are x86 and smaller than the Lex stuff.

http://www.saintsong.com.tw/ These guys make very small and still fast for its size mini-PCs. Look at any of their Mini Book PCs. They have a full PC minus monitor/keyboard/mouse in as little as 30 in^3. That's 1/4 the volume of the Lex ones.

Of course you have some tradeoffs like using laptop harddrivers (or smaller, I'm guessing the top two handhelds use the same drives as the iPods) but since you didn't specify desktop components you're getting the smallest I know of. 🙂 What are you going to use this for? Lex had a cool one that I wanted that had 3 NICs on it that would make a fantastic embedded router but as far as I know they are virtually impossible to order in the US.
