== Motherboards for the Next Generation Orbit Node ==

Here is the collection of the mini-ITX motherboards we are considering as possibilities for the next-generation of the ORBIT nodes. We are particularly interested in Core 2 Duo mini-ITX boards that come with PCIe support. Feel free to add similar (or preferrably better) boards to the list.
