People in the UK, or indeed the rest of Europe, might also want to look at
http://www.linitx.com/  They have a slightly different range than the
mini-itx.com guys, including some different pre-assembled Mini-ITX systems,
and excellent customer service and order tracking, IME.  Between the two of
them you should be able to find everything you need in the Mini-ITX
department.

There's also http://www.cfide.co.uk/ for (surprise!) Compact Flash <-> IDE
adapters of various kinds, and http://www.ultim8pc.co.uk/ who also do
Mini-ITX components, although I haven't dealt with them at all so far.
