I love the looks of the X1C and it's an Ivy Bridge based (HD4k). Does the following specs make it a perfect Hackbook Pro candidate...

Any mini itx boards yet?

According to this article, the IKS has a fan that can be placed above the CPUs heat sink by removing it's fan on LGA775 sockets. Wondering if this will still be valid for the LGA 1155 sockets :/ http://www.silentpcreview.com/article1185-page3.html

Will I be able to use the new Gigabyte Mini ITX Ivy Bridge Boards along with the core i5 - 3475S, which runs on 65W and has the HD4000 on the Antec ISK 100 Case? It only comes with 90W of power, but it's perfectly ideal. I only want to put an SSD in there and drive my 30 inch monitor solely off...

Would 90W be sufficient for Mobo, SSD, CPU? http://www.silentpcreview.com/article1185-page3.html

EUREKA.. Make my own carton based MINI ITX Case and grab a pico-PSU :D

Most of the Mini ITX cases out there have bays for Opical Drives. Are there any decent Mini ITX cases with no Bays for Optical Drives? I just want to use the Mobo-SSD.. Any Ideas?

No, but I'm thinking buying the X1 Carbon instead. Would I be able to run OSX on it? CPU: Intel Core i5-3427U, Chipset: Intel ID1E56, Graphics: HD 4000, Wi-Fi: 802.11a/b/g/n Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205S Specs taken from: http://www.3dnews.ru/mobile/630595 :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

I found this interesting chart on the net and I would like to know, exactly how accurate it is and relevant to the tonymac86 guides. Thanks!

TY ^^

The GA-H61N-USB3 seems to support up to 1920x1200. Can I add an additional PCI Graphics card on this mini itx and drive my 30" to 2560 x 1600? http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3963#sp :eh:

"HDMI 1.3 increased that to 340 MHz, which allows for higher resolution (such as WQXGA, 2560×1600) across a single digital link." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Specifications :crazy:

Can I get 2560x1600 out of an HDMI port?

Is this a Motherboard limitation? Maybe in the near future there will be some new motherboards that will support this functionality?

I'm looking for a mini itx in order to build a nice hack mini. I was wondering if there are any potential candidates that have an additional firewire port and support a dual link dvi for a 30" monitor (2560x1600). Thanks!!
