I got the GA-B75TN for testing- Thin Mini ITX!
150W External PSU, thin as all getout. The cool thing about these boards is that they take a real Ivy Bridge Desktop CPU. Picked up the i3-3225, 8gb sodimm, short cooler, external psu and thin case. I'll post details here.

The big issue is finding a PSU that's actually compatible, however MM found this one that looks like a Dell laptop adapter that would work.
