Never mind - just spotted the 4 pin power auxiliary. Must be a little blind today

I've been thinking about building a nice little mini-itx server in this case also. This would be a great little mainboard for the build.

Liquid cool of course. =)

I have a 120mm All-In-One water cooler set up with dual fans and a DVD drive, But if you delete the drive and not use the top HD rack you can add a H100 240mm setup with no problem with a huge graphics card and still have room for 3x3.5"HD and 4x2.5"HD and the Mobo only has 4 Sata ports so no need for the top HD rack. Either way cant wait for this board.

Any one try the ASRock Z77E-ITX? It's quite similar, has a price tag of $150. Only big difference is the 8Pin Auxiliary connector and No dual LAN.

The ASRock board has unsupported LAN, only their H77 board works.

I see, cool thanks saves me the headache of testing it myself.

I was only asking because I found this. Looks like some guys had success with similar models.

I like to experiment, but LAN, AUDIO are very important to me so I like to use a solid solution.

I wish they put 2 mini-PCIe connectors so we can pop in an mSATA SSD on to it.

I wonder if there will be a no category in the CustoMac guide.
Fro the Z77 board, a CustoMacMini Pro? That would be a good budget build.

Where is the mini-pci-e slot? I must not be looking in the right spot. I was looking for something parallel to the longer PCI-E slot.

what would the watt usage of this board be (only the board) on average and peek?

Still, the lack of displayport makes it unusable for resolutions bigger than 1920x1200... pretty sad. No ACD support or resolutions like that.
I am waiting for decades to have a really nice mini-itx board in order to make a really good mac mini... it looks, not yet.

Looks very promising as a CustoMacMini , can't wait for the annoucement!, i already have a BitFenix Prodigy waiting

I know right, I may have to switch to this once it gets released. Unless they put a via audio chip on it, then I'll stick with my ASRock H77M-ITX.
