Quite a few interesting Mini-itx projects and bits and pieces here: http://www.mini-itx.com/.

I used to run an EPIA800 as a music server running Linux. Whole machine took 20 watts, was fanless and never fell over running 24/7. More than can be said for its' Intel replacement, so much so that I'm, considering its' reinstatement. :(

Its an expensive blog that they blend everything!

If had the space though, iPad makes for decent in-car PC, as its designed for touch use.
