ZOTAC seems to be on a mission to design the perfect mini-ITX platform. Back in October 2008 it launched the itty-bitty nForce 630i, and it soon followed that up with the GeForce 8200-ITX in December.
Today, it seems ready to take the next step as its GeForce 9300-ITX is said to be shipping to retailers and distributors worldwide. The board, pictured below, takes NVIDIA's GeForce 9300 chipset - complete with GeForce 9300m GPU - and squeezes it into the tiny 170mm x 170mm mini-ITX form factor.
NVIDIA's mobile GPU is clocked at 450MHz and provides 16 stream processors clocked 1,200MHz. The board supports a choice of Intel processors compatible with socket LGA775 - that includes Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, Pentium and Celeron - and the dual-channel DIMM slots can utilise up to 8GB of DDR2 memory.
Elsewhere, there's a single PCIe x16 slot, built-in Wi-Fi and a choice of connectivity options that include Gigabit Ethernet, eSATA, six USB ports, VGA, DVI and HDMI, too.
Looks a very useful base for a living-room PC, but there's no mention of pricing yet. With ZOTAC knocking out mini-ITX boards at a feverish pace, we wonder how long it'll be until we see a GeForce 9400-based model.
