Hello guys
I would like to buy Thermaltake's LanBox VF1000BWS for my younger brother. This one particular supports standard components (PSU etc.) and can utilize miniITX and micro ATX boards.
They claim, that is possible to use an SLI or CrossFire configuration, as you can see on the pictures, but there is no list of compatible mATX boards available on their site.
I was looking on websites of ASUS, MSI, BIOSTAR, DFI, GigaByte websites with no luck. While searching, I found this one from from EVGA which has nForce 4 SI chipset but unfortunately it supports only Socket 939 CPU's. Anyway, looks pretty cool, doesn't it?
So back to the subject - the thing is, he'd be okay with any good IGP board (AMD 690G, Intel G965) with free PCIe ×16 slot, but it would be nice to have that option to utilize two stronger GPUs in future or simply just to have a better gaming board.
If someone from you guys found a somewhere a mATX mobo for support for CrossFire (Intel's i975X, P965, P35, some i945Ps as well, ATI Xpress 3200, AMD 480X and 580X) or SLI (nForce SLI chipsets), please let me know. For now it doesn't matter if it would be an AMD AM2 or Intel LGA775 solution, we'll decide it later.
I'm not saying I'll need it but still considering this option, if there will be one
