I have this crazy idea of designing a UMPC with a very small form

run full blown Windows XP or Vista (not CE or embedded xp).

Are there any schematics out there for this or has anyone ever done it
from reference designs?

Something like http://www.versalogic.com/Products/DS.asp?ProductID=183 ?
How small is "very small"? Is the power supply considered? Mass storage?
The linked PC/104+ is just one example, albeit one I've worked with, and
it happily runs "full blown Windows XP."
