small motherboard and case

[pcguy009]

Hi,

I am used to building PCs with ATX motherboards but I now need a mini server. I have a school who needs a webserver but doesn't want a full sized PC. The webserver is only for static pages. I am planning on linux as this needs to be done cheap. I need a small motherboard and case. I don't want a hard drive, a compact flash or similar slot is good. The website it will only get maybe 1000 hits a day if that. To summarize:
small motherboard
power efficient
linux support
boot from compact flash or similiar
no hard drive
network card

I was thinking of a MS-9818 and a P8400 processor, 2GB of RAM and a 4GB compact flash drive. What do you think?

Thanks,

MSI are always good Motherboards.
You also should try the mini-itx / pico-itx motherboards; they're small and power effiecent.
