      Hello can you show the set up of the mini itx in situ at all? And what case you used if any. Thank you

      I will take a pic this weekend but as of right now it’s ‘on the bench’ and I don’t have a case as of yet. More than likely will be designed to attached to the wall of the cabinet and not in a case…

        I just updated the summary post, could you please check, if there is everything correct?!

           Operating System Support:
        
            Windows 10*
            Windows 8.1*
            Windows 7
            64-bit supported only
        

        Under that I would also put Linux… I’m running Unbuntu on the machine currently which makes it much easier to run MM :)

          I would, and will at some point, use one of these in place of the SSD… to further compact things…

            Thank you. Yes i looked at cases but none were slim/small enough. Look forward to your snaps to see how yours look set up. What power source did you use?

                  I just found this one: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/librecomputer/libre-computer-board-next-gen-4k-sbc-dev-board-for/description
                  It may be an alternative. :)

                    @Snille Yes, very interesting. I liked the idea of comparing the boards with Geekbench. Maybe this is a measurable unit to compare.
                    @cowboysdude Are you willing to run such a Geekbench on your system?

                    Somebody backed this and is going to get a one?

                    Looking for some building inspiration?

                      I think that’s awesome. IF it has more power, and it seems these boards are getting more powerful all the time, that’s a good thing!

                        @SvenSommer Yes, I’m backing it. :) I’m going (if it works) to replace my Pi3 with it. :)
