Ah, well. Thanks for finding that. Doesn't look too promising noisewise. Is the mobo a standard form factor or Gigabyte's invention?

It's not a form factor we've seen many cases being made for in retail channels anyway.
It's hard to be fanless AND small with mainstream CPU.

I am very interested in how silent this is. Also, there are a few cases being made by third parties for this new "NUC" sized mainboard. Forget who, Silverstone maybe?
I want the 65 watt Haswell version

The Core i3 BRIX is starting to appear in retail channels.
Newegg has model# GB-XM12-3227 for $299 (+ shipping)
It's $10 more than the
Core i3 NUC, but that buys you
- a slightly faster CPU
- HDMI + mini display port instead of dual HDMI
- the power cable!
- USB 3 (2 ports)
- mini PCIe WIFI adapter
CPU =
Core i3-3227U (ark.intel.com)
