Albatron has a mini-itx board (KI51PV) that takes an AMD 64.

I believe you pay a high price in using nano or mini-ITX.

I'm currently using a bunch of Flex-ATX boards ( smaller than micro-ATX 
)  and
they fit into the phonebook sized NetVista cases.     Most of these
cards have built-in video/LAN etc. and 2 PCI slots.    The parts for 1G 
Celeron
barebone MB/CPU and case/PS is now something like $65 from parts on Ebay.

I doubt you'll get anywhere close to those prices with ITX.
