anything that is called flexATX is the way to go. it's even smaller than microATX the last 2 computers that i have purchased have been in the bookpc from factor. getting cases has been a bitch, but it's less of a problem now. i really love the form factor, because i hate wasting space on a big empty box and i dont have any urge to buy the aftermarket vid cards, ie the "ThunderTech SabreRattler 256 AGP 4X Plutonium Edition". visitors to the home get freaked out because our computers look like the misbegotten progeny of a beige PC and an old sun pizzabox. note that it's probably a good idea to have one full size box to shove capture cards, backup gear, etc...
