Gallery & Conclusion

Pro's

In the tiny MiniITX form factor
Very good performance, the best MiniITX has to offer at present
Passive northbridge so no unnecessary noise
If you are using laptop parts there is an IDE port ready waiting for you.
Manual clear on connectors and pin layouts.

Con's

High price
IDE connectors of two different (44pin and 40pin) so you may have problems connecting your drives
Power supply connectors may be a stretch for some cases
No AGP Port
Doesn't include the ATX back plate required for most cases.
Some people have reported problems with choice of memory though I had no instances of this during testing.

Conclusion

If you are after the fastest MiniITX board you can get your hands on this is definitely a board you should consider, however the high price means that very few will be able to justify it up against other Mini ITX solutions.

Thanks

Thanks go to Nigel at Ultim8pc for supplying this motherboard, Ultim8pc stock lots of SFF kit and is well worth a look.
