India is definitely into Mini-ITX. E.g. http://www.pricedekho.com/motherboard/mini-itx+motherboard-price-list.html

Mini-ITX is simply a is a 17 × 17 cm form factor for motherboards, pioneered by VIA Technology in Taiwan. Most if not all board manufacturers offer products in this size.

A really nice tiny embedded ARM board running Linux that I came across a little while ago is the Arietta G25 by ACME Systems: Arietta G25 - Low cost Linux embedded module

It has a 400MHz ARM9 and it's the tiny form factor and pure stripped back to the bare minimum that I like about this. I have a project I am working on where this will be ideal for my initial prototypes.

Yes Richard, you are right on the SoCs. I had these in mind as they are good for rugged devices. These all in one boards are stronger than using multiple boards connected to each other. But I did not know about mini-ITX before.

I would love to know more about your fileserver. Sounds like an interesting project to get started on.

cheers!

Thanks Scott. I did not know about the Mini-ITX systems before your comment here. I am an electronics Engineering student and new to DIY. I tried searching for mini-ITX systems in local market but it seems that India is not into it yet.
I am now looking at feasibility to import it and try it out. Thanks a lot.

I would love to assist, but due to the fact I have a grand total of 0 of this listed items I don't think my input will be that informative. I am eagerly awaiting an RPi3 and have been following some of the posts on the others, but that really isn't a solid base of information compared to many of our members who actually have an item or more on the list. :-)
