Cyrix

The VIA C3 is based on the Centaur Winchip family and not the Cyrix III as originally posted although for a time VIA did market the VIA C3 as the Cyrix III. VIA bought Centaur and split Cyrix with National Semiconductor. The only living Cyrix design is the AMD Geode. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.146.114.63 (talk) 07:38, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CN700

There's no mention of CN700 based boards, and their apparent brokenness [1] with regard to MPEG decoding power.

Updated link for BTX since the page has been moved. -- RND T C 17:35, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Distributors / Online-Shops removed

Is there any good reason for this? For my parts I would say I found this section very useful since I am currently in the process of buying some mini itx boards. Just can't see why it can't be there.. --Karih 17:09, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Links and sections of that sort are often removed from articles because they attract spam. — Aluvus t/c 07:52, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a site for helping you do your shopping, please use other appropriate resources (such as a Google search) for that. I have (once again, apparently) removed a large number of commercial and self-promotional links. If these are added back I will escalate the matter to administrators or the spam blacklist. There is virtually no justification for having these links on the page: see WP:EL and WP:LINKSPAM for Wikipedia's external link guidelines. Ham Pastrami (talk) 04:03, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

size

Whoops. The article defines the size, in mm, for ITX and FlexATX, but not mini-ITX. uh... If I can find this quick, I'll change it. SchmuckyTheCat

My bad, missed it in the intro. SchmuckyTheCat

Not just the GeForce...

The time seems to have come for these type of systems - we've just started getting some in at work. Impressively small, a little bigger than a Mac Mini but you could easily hide it under a bulky coat, it takes about the same volume as a mid-late 90s laptop, just a little taller and narrower.

However, it seems (with a handful of quad-cores excepted) they're just about our most powerful systems on everything except raw hard disc thruput (as they use 2.5" drives)! 2.8Ghz C2Duo's, 4Gb of 800mhz RAM, GMA4500 graphics - and a 96-watt MAXIMUM power brick which it probably doesn't get close to stressing... and under £500 from our regular supplier with a 4 year warranty. Pretty much the definition of win. Small is no longer slow and horrible. I'll have one of those to take home, thank you very much! It's better than my current laptop, AND the all-in-one workstation at my office desk!

Plus they're a lot easier to secure than most desktops despite the size - multiple lockdown points ;) 193.63.174.10 (talk) 17:39, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV?

The article reads like a tech journal and has zero citations. I'm marking it as Weasel Worded. leaflord (talk) 13:35, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing you mention has anything to do with weasel words, so I am removing the tag. Luwilt (talk) 21:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

compatibility

Do the mounting holes for mini-itx boards line up with those typically availible in larger cases? that is can a mini-itx board usually be fitted in a standard ATX, micro-ATX or flex-atx case? Plugwash (talk) 11:22, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

answering my own question it seems the answer is mostly yes, the mounting holes etc do line up BUT it seems one of the holes mini-itx uses was optional in earlier versions of the ATX spec. Plugwash (talk) 16:26, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Extended Mini-ITX

This format is NOT covered in the main text, however apprently its becoming increasingly popular in server farms. According to Wendell a journalist on the youtube episode of "The Tek 0174: FCC Title II, X99 ITX, A Lot More by Tek Syndicate" several boards have been released in the format - albeit the only one i can find easily is the http://www.amazon.de/ASRock-E3C224D4I-14S-Mainboard-Extended-Mini-ITX/dp/B00GZD6Y7O apprently there have been extended mini-itx that have have more slots (linus tech tips) but this board only offers 4 ram slots.

History section could use some expansion beyond 2009

In present time, I just built a SFF machine with a leading desktop 8 cores, 16 threads, a 2TB NVME SSD and attached the 10th fastest video card currently on the market currently inside an SFX case with a Mini-ITX motherboard. It hauls a lot and can keep up with the full-sized stuff.

The History section seems to stop at the Core 2. It seems to marvel a bit at upcoming motherboards with amazing performance, coming soon!

I would take a crack at it, but I honestly just got into doing this SFFPC stuff again after 10 years. I left off at the same place the History section did too. How the hell did things get to this crazy box of mine?

Micro ITX

The form factor Micro ITX is not yet covered in this article. Here you find an example of a product with this form factor*(not sure if it's the only one of it's kind): https://www.anandtech.com/show/13636/asrock-rolls-out-deskmini-gtx-z390 https://www.sfflab.com/products/asrock-z390m-stx-mxm?variant=21432926896241
