AMD Mini-ITX Board

My latest of a line of unfinished projects is to install a computer in my car.  To this end, I was thinking of using an old laptop with a broken screen, but I found something better.  A cheap interesting Mini-ITX Motherboard.

Mini-ITX is the "in" thing for small PC's nowadays.  Everybody is in on the action including HP.
The most popular Mini-ITX board is built by VIA, but there are boards built by others as well.  Most of these boards run VIA's low power cpu, but some run intel P4's or Pentium M's.  I have never heard of any Mini-ITX boards that run AMD, until I found this gem:


I have not been able to find out much about this board, but i know this much:

It's made by Asus for HP. 
It takes socket 754 AMD cpu's (Turion 64, AMD 64, Sempron 64)
It has a smaller than standard power connector ala HP's slimline desktop pc's. motherboard

I suspect it's a prototype board that was built to be put in HP's Slimline desktop pc line.  HP's slimline is a Mini-ITX based Celeron-M Desktop pc.

I just picked up 3 of these boards with the turion mt37 chips. This thing produces almost no heat and runs at 85% with 2 webcams running streaming video at 640 x 480.

cost $265 a board

they all came with "sample" on a tag on the sdram connector. I'm running 500meg 400ddr, but it will take up to 2 gig. these can be found through ithinkcomputers.com ask for charles.
