Review: Commell LV-670

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.

• 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
