Via Motherboards with ARM processors

.
Via are now manufacturing Motherboards to replace existing PC's with ATX Motherboards. Physically they are a direct replacement, but half the depth. These boards run the ARM chipset (Phone and Tablet chips) instead of Intel's chipset. They will not run Windows XP or 7 but will run Android 4.0 or Linux using a USB keyboard and mouse as well as using a touch screen monitor or TV. 'Windows 8 RT' would theoretically run on them but Microsoft will probably not sell their Operating System to allow this.
