P4 Mini-ITX Mobo

Post by ArtCubed » Thu Jan 22, 2004 4:02 pm

VIA EPIA P4 ITX M/B

Does anyone have this motherboard? Comments? I have everything bbut a case and a motherboard for a P4 system, so I'm interested in getting this board. Any reccomendations for a case for this thing? Small is good :)

No firsthand knowledge of that MB, but for what it costs, I think I'd just buy one of the cheaper shuttle xpc's.

Not sure what you had in mind for case or power supply, but I doubt many of the smaller mini itx cases are going to cut it for a p4 based system, so I'm not sure how much smaller your going to get compared to small form factor box like the shuttle or biostar, etc.

Wow! Thanks a lot for that recc. - I had no idea there were barebones systems with AGP slots at that price point. Glad I asked before I bought it :D

Here's a review. I think that this board would be kinda nice for Mini-ITX HTPC projects, in case Via EPIA/EDEN series is too slow. Like putting this in an old VCR...

IMO Shuttle (etc...) XPCs looks kinda weird in AV rack.

Now if Intel would release P-Ms suitable for Socket 478... :mrgreen:

Cheers,

Jan
