There are lots of knowledgeable hardware folks out there, so I think it's fair to ask here. ;)
I've got some EPIA-5000 mini-ITX boards. What's a good case+PSU for them?
If you have some lego/kinex/mechanno it works well. In all seriousness - it sounds silly, but it works well as a container. As an added bonus you can design your own!

An odd solution would be the Recompute DIY kit: www.sustainable-computer.com
It’s built for MATX motherboards, so should fit the EPIA series without any issues.

While Adam would probably disagree with this option (based on his negative experience with the PSU), it might work for you depending on your use... In his June 2010 presentation on IPCop,...

... Jonas recommended the picoPSU and the Mini-Box M350 enclosure...

I bought an M350 from DirectCanada.com in September for just over $40. A better price might be available elsewhere, depending on shipping, etc...

Note that the picoPSU is not a good solution if you'll be loading the PSU with lots of peripheral devices (which likely wouldn't fit in an M350 enclosure, in any case). But for a compact, low-power solution, it's hard to beat.
