I have used a few Biostar IDEQ SFF kits and just love them.  I thought
the first one I setup was broken because it would start and the fan
would stop.  I checked all my setting and it did the same thing on
next boot.  While scratching my head I noticed the boot screen come
up.  It was so quite I thought it was off.

Here's a link to one similar to the last one I bought:

It's cheaper than Shuttle and the one I bought came with a CPU combo.
