the last one looks like a gigabyte? is it rebranded from gigabyte?

dj-electric · Nov 14, 2012

Y U NO put a nice aluminum sink on that VRM's with push pins?

^ last matx one does look like a gigabyte. Hopefully the prices are competitive. Around $60 for the a55-itx would be sweet.

lol, the first picture says, "ASS-ITX WIFI". Do not want.

They finally figured out people want a full size 16x slot!

But you always feel better when the mosfets are covered with of aluminum sinks right?

I get stress marks when components run @ stock clocks so yes, indeed

I wonder when that A75-ITX model will hit the shelves. Be careful, I searched for "Zotac A75-ITX WiFi" and realized that I was browsing the old FM1 model. Even if you add FM2 to the search, the second link is for the TPU review of the FM1 model ...
