Time for a bit of fun, and an experiment - and maybe we'll give VIA some food for thought. We'd like VIA to change policy and release *all* their EPIA motherboards into distribution, and not keep some of them back - many with rather desirable features - just for the IPC market. As mentioned before, the boards are reaching distribution in the US by roundabout means anyway, so why not release them officially? LVDS boards would allow us to attach LCD/TFT screens directly to our EPIAs, and the EPIA TC has that very desirable 12V DC-DC Converter onboard. We admit - we'd probably have huge difficulties getting our TFT to work properly, and would blow up our TC by plugging it into a car battery without any voltage regulation then revving the engine, but we'd like to at least have a go - a few minutes browsing these pages demonstrates that the Mini-ITX community are an inventive lot, and some of us will work it out. It will be interesting to see just how many signatures we get anyway - so to get the ball rolling we'll send a fabulous case badge bounty to the first 10 people from different countries to sign up and then email us with their postal address and a nice message... (update - we've run out of stamps)
