You have a vision for your product. You want to design and build the best possible user interface for your product but you can't find an off-the-shelf board that lets you get your connectors where you need them, or maybe you need to include some specific (non PC) connectors. You are talking extra cables, riser cards - complicating your design and adding cost. Or you can compromise your vision.

Or you can look at using a COM (Computer On Module) board.

Think of a COM as an off-the-shelf building block with all of the functionality of a typical single board computer - CPU, main chipsets, RAM etc but without the usual IO connectors eg: PS2, D-type etc. Instead the COM plugs into a custom host board using defined interface connections.

The host board footprint, connector layout, GPIO and any application specific electronics are all tailored to your target application. So you have a standard OTS core module and your custom host board is a simple, cost-effective build. Bring them together and you get the custom solution you need, the footprint you need, the connector lay out you need - at a cost you can afford.
