My router runs an Atom Mini-ITX board. Nothing heavy duty, but it's a dual-core Atom (N550, dual-core 64-bit with Hyperthreading, so OpenBSD sees it as 4 cores). Jetway also has a really neat "daughterboard" system which is basically a small 66 MHz PCI risier card; my router runs on the 3 Intel NIC daughtercard they have (leaving an extra 2 Realtek ports). It also has a Mini-PCIe slot, which I fitted with a wireless card (currently the Centrino Advanced-N 6230, which doesn't work with OpenBSD and I don't have time to work on the driver ATM). If you're running a server, you could fit whatever you wanted in there that goes in a Mini-PCIe slot (crypto card, etc). My particular board is the NC9C-550, which I've been happy with (though the BIOS is really badly done; you have to turn off the energy saving feature in the BIOS to make it turn on at AC power restoration, which is just stupid). I've been otherwise quite happy with it. - Dave
