Can anyone recommend a mini-itx board that does not have graphics, but does have a serial port, I want to run it headless
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I'm thinking that you may be able to tell the BIOS to disable the on-board video. I've had little to no luck finding a mini-itx without some manner of GPU. (Some of the newer ones even have HDMI.) I think your best bet is to get on that has video and a serial port and just disable from the bios. I suppose you could run into some trouble getting it to POST without a video card, but I can't say. Most of the stuff I run headless is legacy and doesn't really have any fail-safes.
Here's a good example of the kind of board I was mentioning above:

They also have nice enclosures available, some weather proof.
