MITX info wanted

[Air]

Anyone knows a board that take 1155 ivy, has a Msata slot for a MINI SSD, HDMI out and doesnt break the bank, aka must be cheap.
Not intrested in overclocking it. Can be matx as well, if I cant find a mitx.

Cheap is the keyword. Maybe an intel board or so?

Yoh, I dont think that come cheap. Whats the budget?

As far as I remember, MSata is mostly one the Z68/77 boards(?)

I found these

AS rock Z77e --- R1700
Gigabyte GA-Z77N-WiFi Socket 1155 Mini-ITX board with Dual LAN, 4x SATA and 802.11 WiFi -R1700

INTEL DQ67EPB3 S1155 Q67/vPro/USB3/Mini-ITX/bulk --- Need to find price, is just a gimmick board for something else.

Is the MSATA slot occupied by the WIFI card anyone knows? Or is there a seperate slot for a MSSD?



I need just to get a PC to run Win8, Win7, win12k and win2008

I need at least two as I want to network them. Dual lan like the gigabyte is then an advantage,

I have the ASRock Z77 mitx. Brilliant board.

The msata slot is under the board and the wireless card has its own slot.

So the only issue with the msata might be clearance between the mobo and the mobo tray.

Thanks Chrisl89

Can anyone tell me the difference between the IVY chipsets, which one are there in MITX,
what are the difference, IE 67, 77
Is that overclocking only?

I dont need dual lan (would be nice but not needed, as can use a router)

I need:

1. HDMI
2. Msata
3. IVY support
4. USB 3.0
5. Sata 6

Cheapest MITX availlable. (dont need wifi, OC etc etc) I like the Z77e though.

What you're asking for doesn't exist.

You're looking for something high end at a low end price.

Only a select few boards run M-SATA and those that do are all high end (ie expensive boards).

The biggest differense between 67 and 77 that I know of is that most of the new features on the 67 chipset, like USB 3.0 and pci-e 3.0, is integrated in the ivy processor. Where those features was given to 67 by extra chips and controllers.

I have found what I need for my purpose.

Ill be looking into these. The first is a much newer board, although matx whic is not an issue.

It doesnt have Msata, while the second board does have mini pci express half size, no pci 3.0 though but might get both.

There are mini pci express SSD's as MSATA and mini PCI express is not the same thing. No need for MSATA then.
