Smaller is not really all that special for me because of add-ons and heat. I like a board that can take at least three PCI cards and a Video Card, and that already makes up almost half the Board, so unless they are thinking really small I do not know how much smaller you can go while thinking to accommodate cards - unless they are not thinking of cards but total USB or something else?
