I have come up with an amazing idea.  Build a desktop.  Seems simple enough, but I have never really just sat down and taken the time to hammer one out.  I'm going to do it this time, really, because I just bought the motherboard and the power supply.  
It's going to be a tiny desktop.  Just enough power to do anything I personally want it to do. (I do no game or do anything with high graphics needs, so a dual core Intel Atom 1.8 will do fine.)  the board itself is only 17mmX17mm.  The power supply I bought is also very low profile.  It is fanless and plugs in like you would plug a laptop in.  Pretty sweet.
Everything else is just normal on it.  4GB of RAM with a 160 HDD (notebook HDD).  Small fan just to keep the air running through it.
I want to make a really cool plexy glass case for it.  If you could imagine it sitting on a piece of clear plexy glass, then having another piece elevated about 2 inches about the top of it.  So just 2 sided.  
I will make sure to update with pictures throughout the build process.  When I get the parts in, I will post the part list and pricing for those who may be interested.
