I have a Via EPIA V (maybe an 800?) in a box made by SolarPC.
I don't recall any problems offhand, though I think I did
add a case arm for the South Bridge, and I sort of remember
the Rhine Ethernet used to be left out of standard precompiled
kernels, or maybe it was 9load.

I still need to figure out why the SIIG PCI SATA card I want
to use in that machine loses when DMA is turned on.

The proprietor of SolarPC says he's had more trouble with the
Via boards under high interrupt load than with other mini-ITX
boards.
