Looking for microITX boards for a portable workstation...

[BaldAvenger]

Hey out there!

Can anybody give me the 411 on where one can find microITX mobos for SFF cases. I am attempting to put together a workstation/gaming rig that is a bit more portable than my antec p180 (read: brick) setup. I already have a SFF case (Monarch Hornet Pro) but I can't find the mobos anywhere. I am looking for an AMD 939 socket with PCIe and PCI expansion slots. No SLI needed (as I can't justify spending ANOTHER $500 for twin 7800gtx sweetness (tho it would be nice)). If anybody can point me in the right direction I would be very appreciative. Thanks, in advance.

Do you want a micro-ATX or mini-ITX, as there is no such thing as a micro-ITX (as far as I know)? If you want a mini-ITX, the best and sometimes only place to get your hand on those rare mini-ITX motherboards and accessories is here.

But I believe you are going in the wrong direction here, miini-ITX motherboards aren't made for gaming if I am not mistaken I haven't see any yet with any capabilties to house a powerful processor / Graphics card, neither are the case's for microITX capable of giving you suffecient air circulation for the heat, nor the power supplies of those cases won't be able to handle a powerful CPU-GPU combo, mini-ITX mobos are mainly used in application were you need to integrate a PC in a small enviroment, eg : A car mini-pc.

But since you want to game so most probably you meant Micro-ATX, well that's easy then here is a list of micro-ATX socket 939 mobos : link

Ahh, yes, I once thought I was mistaken, but...err, I was. It is the micro-ATX formfactor that I am looking for. Thanks for making me double check myself. I even looked at these earlier but the neurons didn't click (not that they do very often anyhow). Appreciate the heads up!
