One of these VIA AMOS chassis designs was seen on display at VIA's booth at Computex earlier in the year. I think it was the AMOS-2000 version which supports the Nano-ITX platform. There wasn't much info about it at the time but now VIA have put out a Press Release which includes information about a VIA AMOS-1000 and AMOS-2000 which are for the VIA Nano-ITX and VIA Mini-ITX platforms respectively. The chassis fit a VIA EPIA board (of the respective platform) and one 2.5" SATA hard drive and a power board. You can also fit optional component boards into the base chassis, to add wireless, COM, DVI and USB. Then on top of that you can also stack additional chassis to add more features. The extra chassis can be the same size or an ultra-slime version. With them you can add features like an optical drive, up to 3TB of storage, Compact Flash, MiniPCI port and up to two PCI or PCI Express cards for more networking or high end graphics. Really, it doesn't matter what your application or device is for, so long as a VIA EPIA Nano-ITX or Mini-ITX board can form the basis, the AMOS-1000 and AMOS-2000 chassis' versatility will allow embedded developers to build just what they need.
