If you’re anything like some of the geeks at the Mobile offices, you’ve likely attempted to put together a PC at one point in your life; or at least crack a CPU open and tinker with one.

The biggest thing in there is most probably the motherboard, or as we geeks affectionately call it, the mobo. (It’s that big flat green thing with lotsa chips and wires on it.)

A typical ATX mobo is roughly a foot square (12″ x 12″), sometimes smaller, depending on the configuration you’re after. So far the smallest one has similar specs, although instead of inches, it’s in centimeters. The Nano-ITX is 12cm X 12cm. That’s tiny - and now, it gets even tinier.

Enter the Pico-ITX, or the PX10000G, and the tale of the tape puts this mobo at 10cm x 7.2cm, or about the size of a 2.5″ notebook hard drive. Wowza!

It runs off a 1GHz VIA C7 processor and can fit a single SO-DIMM on the bottom, and its got the usual full range of connectors, 4 USB, 2 PS/2s, ethernet, VGA, DVI, SATA and a right-angled IDE connection. Video is done through a VIA UniChrome Pro II 3D/2D AGP.

People are still figuring out the best way to use this mobo, but rest assured, someone will. We can’t wait to see the mobile gadgets built around this one!
