It's a damn good thing Dave's still unsub'd or we'd have a flame-
war started!  Blasphemer! ;-)
 
I think I'd just co-opt a SCSI disk case or something if I was
building a fanless ITX box.  A hell of a lot cheaper than $147+
shipping--I mean, it's just a metal box with cooling slots and
drive rails, right?  You could cut out the back for whatever port 
access you need.  If you want to avoid the external power brick,
they make AC->DC boards that plug into the ITX mobos.

The YDLinux boxes are about the size of an external CD/DVD
case, so that would be another thing to consider.  I can't imagine
that an ITX runs much hotter than a G3.
