Now i'm glad Matt is talking about getting back to a standard form factor. IMO, the only thing that really sucked with the Efika was its alien form factor.
Talking is not the same as doing!

What if the next Efika was smaller than PicoITX? There is no point following a form factor under some circumstances.

It may be annoying that the Efika does not fit into any huge ATX case, but it was designed to be a certain size for a certain reason (and fits inside a CDROM bay anyway).

What I said was, maybe the next board would have a custom power connector (not ATX, but with the possibility of a fly lead) like PicoITX or inbuilt power supply. Not that "it would be PicoITX".

Inbuild is the way to go IMO. Just a 5V or 12V DC connector. Would a real cool feature IMO.

Indeed. Is one of the goals for Efika2 to be as small as possible? Could you drop in battery charge circuitry?
