Because I have an idea with one.

ok, then. Next question: How much ventilation would that one need
[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;21745817]ok, then. Next question: How much ventilation would that one need[/QUOTE]
I would say it depends on the case and CPU you choose. Most of the time you probably could just use the stock Intel whatever heatsink but if you're putting a higher end quad core or something on there with a case that isn't exactly great with the ventilation you might need something a little beefier. What kind of project do you have in mind for this anyway?
as much as any other computer.
It doesn't absolutely need a lot, but it's a good idea to have it.
What's your idea for this?
Ok, stick with me on this:
Put the ITX...
Inside a NES console.
I'd put the USB ports where the current controller ports are, and the psu to the PSU slot for the NES. Cd drive to the cartridge slot.
I just want to know how much I should do for ventilation holes/fan
That's been done a few times actually. It's never done with reasonably powerful systems though.

I know I just want one for myself
If you're just using it as an emulator you might as well save a bit of money and get one of those mini-ITX boards with an integrated VIA or Atom processor for $60-$70 instead of dropping $130 on a board plus the cost of a Core2. If you want to use it for multimedia though you're going to want a real processor under the hood.

Is it possible to remove a motherboard from a laptp? I can destroy the outsides if need be.
you can, but it's not a very good idea.
I would get one of the atom boards instead.
It needs at least:
500 mhz processor, 96mb ram, 16mb video card, Windows 2000/XP, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection

Go all the way and get a core i5.
OP, buy this instead:

A dual-core Atom 330 with ION, for only $149 CAD and free shipping
Yes, it's eBay. Get over it.

I'd love to make a portable desktop for the sole purpose of saying that I made a portable desktop.
I would get that and an i3 or a 1156 pentium

I would go i5 and some single slot gpu.
I'd be afraid to put an expensive chip in a DFI board, tbh

Seeing as it's fucking cramped in there it could probably heat up a small room.

Also do I spot a dsl modem in there???
Get a Intel D510MO and 2 gigabyte RAM for it.
Plenty of juice for a Nintendo emulator, web browsing, watching movies and older games.
Should even be able to handle the newest source engine with everything on lowest :v:

Very pricy, but has an external PSU so you'll have a smaller heat problem.
If you're still worrying about heat, then cut out some holes around here;

And add in a 40mm fan blowing air in.

That would totally kill the look.
Also for a power supply, if you're using a Intel Atom based board, then check out the Pico PSU's

Granted you'll need a external AC/DC adapter with those, but they're so [B]TINY[/B]
[QUOTE=pentium;21753851]That would totally kill the look.[/QUOTE]
I imagine I could Cut a sort of vent there, instead of blatantly obvious holes, so that when you look at it, you only see the cuts at an angle
And I could put the fan in the back, where nobody would see it.

Properly cut 45 degree slots facing backwards would probably look decent if you did it right.
[QUOTE=pentium;21753851]That would totally kill the look.[/QUOTE]
Hole at the back then?
