I'm a bit surprised that no one has brought up the mini pc's from 
Cappaccino.com
take a look at this, 
http://www.cappuccinopc.com/digitalengine-945fx.asp#pictures
it has support for a mini pci card, 2 gigs of ram, 4 usb ports, 1 
firewire port, dvd rom and is only 6.5" square by 2" deep. Set it up 
with a 7" touchscreen which is all you need to see whats going on in 
mobius and you have on heck of a looping machine.
