What do you mean by what's the deal 
?
Motherboards come in many sizes. The most common for desktop are EATX, ATX, Mini/micro ATX and ITX. I guess you mean ITX.
The smaller you go the less features you have. Usually the smallest boards only have 2 RAM Slots rather than 4 and only 1 expansion slot. There are powerful options though. You can get a decent board with a good CPU and good graphics card and fit it into a small case.
Usually, people go small form factor for a moderate PC, something that's just for web surfing and stuff.

Here's a low end system. CPU/GPU/Sound/LAN just add your RAM and drives and a powersupply. And a case.
