Probably the smallest you can readily buy are the ones built for the Shuttle cubes. But if that's too run-of-the-mill, how about a microATX AMD dualie? I kid you not! (obviously this is not built to be a daily driver, but if I knew where to buy one I would be sorely tempted )

Also, if you just want a good microATX board, check out the Asus A7N266-VM. Very good lil' board: A7N266-VM

How much do flex boards usually cost versus micro atx, pricewatch is being a pain :/

ASUS A7N266 , microATX versions 1003 or 1005 (with LAN), very small, very fast, no chipset cooler (but needs a case cooler if you gonna go with an Athlon XP).
I've paid U$s 83 for the 1003 and U$s86 for the 1005, but anywere in the world but here (Argentina) you can get better prices!.

That board was pretty good, but since the nForce2 mATX boards are out, I would look at them, since they support the 333FSB, USB2.0, updated sound, updated video card, etc.....

The Chaintech 7SID is one of the smallest I know of in a standard mATX (244x220mm). The SiS Single-chip chipset allows for smallest possible form factor. Actually most of the socket-A mATX boards are about the same dimensions. You just make a trade-off of slots for extra on-board functions like video, etc. I am thinking of the ECS K7SOM+ (w/USB 2.0) for an upcoming upgrade.
