About the closest you are going to get is this. You can always stick a 1x card in the lower pci-e slot.

Do you need the board to be able to overclock the CPU?

If not- this board seems to fit the bill.

4 pin cpu. its really not easy. its going into a htpc/mid gaming rig and i just like to oc so i want to push an sb

Aye, the 4 pin CPU plug in the H67 is fine if you don't plan to overclock (H67 can't overclock so no issue there) - but if you want to overclock then you will be needing a P67 or Z68 chipset board.

I can't see any P67 boards that fit your other criteria since the vast majority are full ATX.

The Z68 chipset boards will be out in less than a week so I would suggest looking through the options again when they come out. As well as overclocking, these boards can make use of the onboard graphics - so there should be more micro-ATX versions of those boards compared to P67.

Forgot about the Z68. There's this Asrock board that has all the slots you need plus a 8 pin connector but you lose the 90 degree sata connectors.
