Hi all

Intel seems to get all the love when it comes to Mini-ITX. What does AMD get in terms of SFF PC's, because as an alternative I'm also looking at AMD systems, and pondering the possibility of a SFF AMD setup using a AMD x3 720 CPU.

If it's for gaming then there isn't one. If it's for anything else then the J&W Minix is good, though it runs a little hot.

If there was an AMD mITX gaming board out there then i think a lot of us would have gone with the X3 720 rather than various Intel set-ups. I know i would have anyway. Sadly Intel (and the Zotac 9300-WiFi) is the only viable solution in this situation.
