No room for other qol improvements such as a SATA, SCSI or ATA100/133 card, USB 2.0 card for better file transfer speed from a thumb drive, no voodoo 2 SLI, can't have multiple sound cards for specific needs. mATX at this time frame was still decidedly a budget option meant for bardin PC's, so your also getting feature poor boards, made with cheaper components.
Look, if you really want to stuff your PC full of everything, uATX is not the thing for you, but TS wants uATX.
Also, these things come with sound, including ESS Solo-1, Ensoniq 1373 or Yamaha DS-XG, which in both DOS and Windows are good enough for most purposes (alternatives I've seen include CMI 8378 and Via AC'97 with SB Legacy option, both also OK). My most-used Slot 1 uATX board here (MS-6168) has Ensoniq/Creative 1373 and Voodoo3 onboard. With a Voodoo3 you don't need any Voodoo2s. So all I need to add for basic functionality is a NIC. That leaves me two more PCI slots for USB2 and an extra I/O card (not sure yet whether to do SCSI with a Cheetah 10k or go the whole hog and do SATA with an SSD). Add a Tualatin on a slocket and that's the system I intend building for a small case. Not missing much there IMHO...
But again, by ruling out uATX a priori, you're making assumptions on what TS intends to do with his system. Apart from running Windows 98 on it. we don't know anything. until he comes with more specific info, no one can categorically say anything about it. And maybe, just maybe, he's already considered the limited expansion options of uATX and has figured out that isn't relevant to him.
