Does anyone know of any > such cases (it'd be even better if they're available in au)? No, but if you find something, please post! I've been searching for something that is nice and small yet has more power than say a Soekris box and can handle more than one or two ethernet cards. Isn't there also another mini form factor? I see that places like Iron Systems and other rack-mount outlets have some boxes that aren't mini-itx, but are still only 14" deep (about the size of an old Cisco 25xx router)... It also seems the built-in ethernet on the Via boards is not the best either...
