1 I'm developing an embedded networked webcam that can stream in multipart
2 JPEG and MP4, like AXIS products but on budget.
3 Could someone recommend small board which is available in retail?
4 Preferably x86 with mini-PCI or with built-in video capture and is able
5 to work w/o ATX power supply. Like CM-iGLX

8 I know about:
9 1. PC-Engines's wrap2 and Soekris, but they are rather underpowered;
10 2. Mini-ITX - even with PCI riser card space savings cannot justify the
11 price compared to small ATX board;
12 3. Nano-ITX - high price, 1GHz VIA products are too massive because of
13 heatsink, need ITX or ATX power supply, too much useless hardware.

15 I already did the webcams from ATX boards. Old used PentiumII boards are
16 perfectly fine - they are cheap and cool. P4 Celerons generate too much
17 heat even at low load. When assembled the server is the size of laptop,
18 but 2-3 times thicker. Would be nice to go more compact form-factor.
