Came up with the new VIA EPIA PX-Series Pico-ITX Motherboard. Well, this is truely the smallest retail x86 motherboard I've ever seen (and as VIA claimed!). This board is with size 10cm*7.2cm. And it has the 1GHz VIA C7 processor and the single-chip VIA VX700 system media processor, which boasts the VIA UniChrome Pro II IGP 3D/2D graphics core, MPEG-2/-4 and WMV9 hardware decoding acceleration and display flexibility. This mother board supports up to 1G DDR2 533 memory, which is actually the only extra piece you have to add to it.
Someone has successfully put it into an ancient Gameboy box，using a 4G CF card as external storage:
Well, this thing cost around $200-$300 including the meory. And I bet it is not hard to find a 8 or 10 inch LCD display at a acceptable price. So, if can find a power supply that is also small size, this would be a perfect fit for a in-car onboard computer.
