Small motherboard - AGP & AMD

I've been reading about building a plexi case quite a bit, and I want to give it a shot. Thinking this would make a great LAN box, I figured I'd try to build as small a case as possible. Given that, I would like to get as small a motherboard as possible. I know this has been asked in the past, but I can't find any good answers so I'll ask again. Can anyone point out small motherboards that have an AGP slot (preferably with sound and LAN onboard, but if enough PCI slots are available, I have cards) and supports AMD processors? How would I even go about finding such a beast? I know I'm not likely to find an SV-24 sized board, but is there anything close?

Thanks,

If you want to go cheap and have some PC133 to re-use, you could also look at VIA KM133A boards. Newegg has one for $76 (MSI MS-6340M) which will take AthlonXP's. Onboard AGP video plus an AGP slot available.

That's exactly what I was looking for. Now, too save up a few bucks to buy the board and some good plexi. If I ever get to work on the case, I'll post pics at my case mods site (link in .sig). Thanks for the info.

Glad to help.

Linkage? I can't find anything about it. Does it have an AGP slot? To me, that is a must. I can live with onboard sound, but I have to be able to upgrade my video.

ECS K7SEM Here. I have one of these running a Duron 750, w/Radeon VE. I would not reccomend using the on-board video, as it drops the system performance. Once I added the Radeon, Chipset performance was equal to a KT133A system.
 
Axion has the AOpen mk7a on sale for $48. Saw it posted at Ars. I'd buy one at that price for sure if I didn't already have an Epox 8khm waiting to go into a system- $81 from Bunta.
