So being an audiophile gamer, I find myself needing at least two slots on a mb: one for the GPU and one for a high-end sound card like the Sound Blaster ZxR. But I've also been interested in building as small a system as possible. That two-slot minimum has always ruled out mini-ITX systems, obviously, but then I stumble across this beauty of a case (http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ncase-m1-prototype-a-mini-itx-case) that specifically mentions support for an mb form factor I had never heard of: mini-DTX. That ff allows for two slots, which sounded perfect for my needs!
So I started searching around. There is only one mDTX board that I can find for sale, and it is an Atom part. No thanks. So, I'm wondering: is this a new form factor or an old one that died off? Why didn't it succeed? Too niche?
