Looking for Socket S1 motherboard in mini itx form factor

So I salvaged an amd athlon 64 x2 from an old laptop and was wondering if there were any mini itx motherboards that support this socket. Hoping to use the cpu for a home theater PC.

For a Mini-ITX....I found 1 and it costs $180 USD plus tax and shipping.

Beyond that, it looks like laptop boards, which you could do. Manufacture your own case for it or mount it on the back of a stand or something.

Thanks! I may just see if the old mobo is working and try that route

You might wanna shop around a little bit as I have no reference for anewtech.net and you might be able to find the same board cheaper from other sources.

As long as you have proper airflow and you don't allow shorting between solder points (such as screwing the board directly to a sheet of metal) you can make a case out of almost anything. Personally, I had a motherboard operating in a fish tank once (did a project with mineral oil, bubbles, lights, etc).
