I ran DttSP, Freebob and the FA66 on my MiniITX as well as GnuRadio 
doing FM stereo receiver I did. I do ALL of my GnuRadio development and 
DttSP v2.0 on this machine. I also ran DttSP, Freebob, FA66 on a later 
model MiniITX that Flex was looking at as the board for their Flex5000C. 
  These were not low power models (P4 Hyperthread and Core 2 
respectively) but I suspect that some of the VIA microprocessors will 
work just fine.  Winlab (Rutgers) runs GnuRadio on these air cooled 
boards and I did a 2 mbps packet radio demonstration using GnuRadio on a 
VIA MiniItx mobo machine.
