Between the two of them you should be able to find everything you need in the Mini-ITX department. There's also http://www.cfide.co.uk/ for (surprise!) Compact Flash <-> IDE adapters of various kinds, and http://www.ultim8pc.co.uk/ who also do Mini-ITX components, although I haven't dealt with them at all so far.
