Check with Peter from Cybersource.  He gets all kinds of stuff like that and a
lot of the systems that he's been building lately have all of the stuff built
in.  Personally, I go for a bare motherboard and add stuff in so if one thing
breaks it doesn't take everything out.  Of course, this is coming from a guy
that just bought a stereo with a DVD/CD player built in...

Cheers!
