I'm a big fan of the Zotac IONITX boards, especially the "C" version
that has enough processing power and can run completely silent.
Although it doesn't have S-video, it does have DVI and HDMI, and it
has coaxial and optical digital audio outputs (as well as digital
audio over HDMI).

You will probably have a hard time finding a mini-ITX board (or any
modern board, as far as I can tell) with S-video out.  If you really
need S-video, you might need to find a mini-ITX board with an
expansion slot and find a suitable graphics card with S-video out.
