Istvan, very wise and at the same time logical too to support 1581 ONLY when you load such an image  looks that
I work on that Retro-PC project since last December, although the main efforts were made on the purchase of the macs, looking for low-profile heatpipe cooling, small mATX boards with proper size, height and performance, and cables for the PCI-X16 raiser.
Yeah, still looks than only AMD790 based and underclocked AMD system would able to provide the power and power consumption I wish, BUT the size (24cm) still too big. Very rarely I see
There are almost no flex-ATX boards, and the MiniITX ones ( http://mini-itx.com/ ) have no PCI-X16 connector needed for VGA-expansion and low on USB ports, as I need minimum 8 (for a specific new feature I do not describe here in details).
Before I buy anything, I should deeply go into the best selection, as I am a little low on budget... Looks that I may wait the miniITX2.0 standard's first mboards, if the processor will be enough. 17x17 cm is SMALL, and this is what I really need (+low height + good performance ).

This is a closest thing I have in my mind, but this one is not my work, just found it close to my idea:
