I have a couple left over, if you like, contact me from the form at vinster.com

shrinking from uATX to mATX will not shrink the PC all that much - all the other pieces are still huge. I suppose with a nonstandard PSU and 2.5" disks it can fit in a smaller case, but a 5870 is still huge and how will we get all the heat out?

Silverstone make some nice ITX cases (the SUGO series for example) but they are quite limited in graphics size.

They are cubical, to a point, they extend forwards for space for 2 hard drives, a fan, and a power supply, but fit the ITX category quite nicely.

Umm, Eruc [Eric?] I think the point is that if youre buying an ITX motherboard, youre going to have it as small as possible. So if you want more expansion ports, get an ATX board.

A 4870X2 or 5970 will require a big case. I can have a tiny mobo in a big case.

What is the point?

If there were cubical cases available that can fit this kind of mobo and a top end video card I'd be happy.

No such thing is available.

This could become standard. As in: default setup for most users. The vid card needs a dieshrink too though....

Nice, that thing would be perfect if dropped on an little Antec mini Skeleton. And a nice bit of grunt behind it also.

This will fit in my m@x case (out of production - vinster.com) and let me toss in a full size power supply with the space saved from the smaller motherboard.

This will start a new world of powerfull and very small gaming systems.

the problem is that you add your video card and that's it. No more slots, no upgrade options.

You're basically limited with onboard devices.

But how much for it?
Nice review.

Cute, but why does it have full-sized DIMMs? I wish they'd use the small buggers found in notebooks.

How can you do an article on something and not once mention what the rpice was??

Like is it Available and how much will this Board set me back?
