question...i am trying to make an n64 into a dsl machine and need additional dimensions...i think that the 170x170mm mobos will fit the chassis, but how tall are they??? i have about 50mm clearance from the top of the case to the bottom (external clearance...)  i want to make the puter boot off of a memory card.  will this be possible?  need help here......thanks

also, any other suggestions would be appreciated...

ok...heres what i was thinkin for hardware:

epia 5000 mini-itx
-add a compact flash ide adapter
pw 60A 120w fanless power supply
-ac power adapter 12v, 9a switching
Kingston 512MB Compact Flash (CF) Flash Media Model CF/512 - Retail (from newegg)

then i would install dsl on the cf card...

any thoughts would be appreciated

There are people out there using those epia mini-itx boards with DSL...

Im sure you could get it running..it just may take some googling in case particular bits of hardware dont get autodetected..but I bet if you slap alot of RAM in them suckers they will scream!
