For my robotic project, I will need a small computer (includes CPU, ram, video, ports, etc). Power comsumption must be under 10 watts, as it will be powered by a 12VDC source which depending on the computer, will be powering it directly (with proper regulation) or into a DC DC converter. This computer will need to be a form factor of mini ITX or smaller (preferably smaller). It does not need to be powerful and it should be cost effective (cheap). It will also need 2 Serial ports, or have a slot where I can install a card that will give me the 2 serial ports.

It should have a processor capable of running XP, such as a AMD geode or equivalent. The OS will be on a 4GB CF card, and the OS will be XP stripped down. NO LINUX SRY GUISE.

Requirements:
Small (Mini ITX or smaller)
Low power consumption (10watts or lower).
2 serial ports
VGA port
Ram onboard or slots
Some kind of memory interface (CF card, SATA, IDE).
2 or more USB ports or enough slots to expand.

Thanks :D
