So which of these is the most likely to be doable? We'll have to solve the EC problem.

The Quanta IL1 reference design (VIA C7 + vx800) is sold in a few minor variants (cosmetics, cpu speed, HD size, etc) from several different vendors. Maybe one of these?
* One Mini A120/A150 http://www.one.de/shop/product_info.php?products_id=2667
* Airis Kira 100/350/740 http://preview.tinyurl.com/5zbzl6
* Norhtec Gecko http://www.norhtec.com/products/gecko/index.html
* Pioneer DreamBook Light IL1 http://www.pioneercomputers.com.au/products/configure.asp?c1=3&c2=12&...
* CTL IL1 http://www.ctlcorp.com/v4/p-697-ctl-il1a-89-netbook-with-windows-xp-home.asp...
* ACi Ethos 7 http://www.aci-asia.com/html/Ethos_7.html
* BDSI Deep Blue H1 http://www.ilikeblue.net/products/umpc.htm
Let's see how well the vx800 patch from VIA works on one of these. This should give us an idea of how much work the EC firmware will be.
