At the moment. But DTX, just like the MiniMacs, is intended to change that.

wbmw,

I don't find SFF to be synonymous with low cost. In fact, most SFF systems come with a premium. Low power processors also come with a premium, and in the end you are getting more by paying more (in this case, "more" size optimization). Merom would seem to fit this model nicely.

that's true, but one of the things that have kept pricing high is lack of standards. Like those Shuttle XPC boxes. One reason a pathetic vendor (quality wise) such a Shuttle can be a leader is lack of standardization.
