"Today we're going to have a look at one of the more recent incarnations of the VIA EPIA platform, the CL6000E. VIA EPIA motherboards are mini-ITX form factor with integrated VIA processors - ideal for building into systems where it's desirable to have something small, quiet and relatively cool-running.
The EPIA CL series motherboards are clearly aimed at networking applications rather than intense gaming or workstation tasks. However, they boast plenty of onboard features - especially when you consider their small size. The CL6000E's fanless design and dual onboard LAN configuration means that it's very quiet, and no extra PCI cards are required to connect to both an ethernet modem and a LAN. This means it's perfect for router or firewall tasks in a tiny space - as the board can be mounted in a very small and quiet enclosure."
