Personally, I'd always go for mATX. If you don't mind using proprietary
PSU's (which can be expensive/impossible to replace) you can get some very
dinky cases. If you want quietness you can grab a cheap athlon (Barton
cores tend to run cooler) and underclock it.
If you want *really* small (with little option for expandability), go for a
Shuttle barebones or one of the not-very-cheap mini-ITX boards that'll take
a P4 such as the top two boards here
