So far the company has only released a teaser image on its Facebook page and the picture is suitably blurred to hide a lot of its features. However, we can at least make out some things like the fact that it has a pair of full-size DIMM slots, two SATA 6Gbps and two SATA 3Gbps ports, a PCI Express x16 slot, what appears to be two USB 2.0 pin-headers and one USB 3.0 pin-header. Beyond that, things get a bit tricky, although we can make out an 8-pin 12V power connector and the VRM module has a rather large heatsink, suggesting that EVGA is targeting overclockers with this board.
Other features appear to include a standard set of six audio jacks, an Ethernet port, a pair of rear USB 3.0 ports, most likely at least two USB 2.0 ports and what might be a Bluetooth dongle. Beyond that, we’re simply guessing, but we have a feeling EVGA has gone for at least a DisplayPort and an HDMI port and the good news is that there doesn’t appear to be a D-sub connector on this board. All we can do now is to wait for an official announcement to see how hackintosh friendly this so far un-named board from EVGA will be.

Update: A couple of additional pictures were posted over at LegitReviews of the EVGA mini-ITX board and this could be the big one for all Hackintosh users, as it looks like EVGA will be first to slap Thunderbolt on a mini-ITX board. We can't be certain, but the board clearly has a mini DisplayPort connector.
On top of that, a post by a product manager on the EVGA forums has revealed that the EVGA metal plate next to the chipset heatsink is hiding a half-size mini PCI Express slot. Now let's hope for some good UEFI support and this board could be a slam dunk.
