I like it....I'm just not sure what they mean by mini PCI-E....does that mean x4 or something cause it looks like a full sized slot to me

Thats a full size x16 slot, but theres also a Mini-PCIe slot on the board. Its on the edge of the left of the board in that picture, near the RAM slots.

I think time for powerful mini-ITX boards have come... :cool:
time for a real SFF powerhouses... :pimp:

of course LOL that's what they meant by
because that would be good for one of those little SSD cards that are like 20-40gb

Can anyone suggest a P67 variant, I really want an overclockable ITX SB board.

I'm not sure that there are any yet... But probably all bigger makers will have one.
I know Zotac has one but I don't know any reviews on that one.

I personally wait for gigabyte because of the excellent motherboard based on P55...

None so far, you're just going to have to hang on and make a wish or something...
Not sure if anyone will make one tbh, as there's no real reason to make one and I don't think the motherboard makers care about overclockable mini-ITX boards...

LGA 1155, Mini ITX, Intel Motherboards, Motherbo...

on the egg along with an intel and foxconn mobo

there wont be a P67 but if you wait a bit i would be willing to bet GB releases another gem like the H55N-USB3
