        It’s the ASUS H110T/CSM LGA 1151 Intel H110 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Thin Mini-ITX Motherboards - Intel

        Link is here but it’s no longer available:

        I’m pretty sure there are others with similar specs out there… I’m using a notebook power supply for this.

              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…

                   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?
