I know Apple got lots of publicity, but the concept of SFF computers 
didn't originate with them. I have here an Hp Evectra (I810 chipset, 
PIII 600) which is about 1/8 the volume (half linear size in each 
dimension) of the Vectra beside it, and an IBM Netvista (Geode I think - 
Pentium class)  which is much smaller (but has no ability to hse CD, 
floppy or HDD). Can boot off CF though.

the Evectra came with W2L but Linux fully supports it, and IBM has a 
patch for the Netvista.
