I'm all setup to bring in stuff from Lex[1], although I haven't yet as I don't
have the budget to hold a decent amount stock at the moment.

My main reason for partnering with them was for embedded PBX systems but they
have heaps of cool ITX boards and cases for AV use plus others with built-in
3-4 NICs for use as routers etc. The MV series of boards are the AV ones.

If there's anything that tickles your fancy then I can organise it for you.

I saw procase.co.nz was advertising EPIA motherboards in the latest PC World. - haven't looked at the details yet.

There is also http://www.itx.co.nz - they may supply them - although I am not too sure about them, they never seem to be consistent about what they stock and how much they charge.

D'oh if I had read your message properly I would have seen you had tried procase already!

That's very kind of you - the MV823S1R10E (fanless Eden 1GHz) looks
quite good. However, I already have a case, and those motherboards
aren't VIA EPIA - they're 210x150 whereas my case is for a standard VIA
mini-ITX (170x170) m/b :-(

(long story. I've found all the bits I wanted via two different
suppliers, ordered, then the one with the m/b told me they were mistaken
and can't get the m/b I wanted. So now I have a case, RAM, disk - and no
motherboard :-(

eBay looks like my only option. I can't believe that there are so many
distributors of VIA m/b in NZ, and yet they all either won't bring in
the full range - or won't get me one as a "one-off". :-(

I think I must have looked at all the specs except the dimensions! I assumed
they were Mini-ITX (you know what they say about assumptions), I guess it
should have been fairly easy to pick up since the pictures show that the
motherboard isn't square!

I agree, it is annoying, and unfortunately it happens for a whole raft of
products.

Cheers,

Well it's only a month late (quite possibly too late for you) but...

I just had word from ProCase that they are bringing in the EN12000EG (should
be here in 2-3 weeks).
