Wow...that Z77 itx board looks tempting for a HTPC build
Cracking price too, compared to other Z77 ITX boards.

Cracking price too, compared to other Z77 ITX boards.

Spec wise with the addition of the wifi etc its also very feature rich. Certainly a board I would be interested in for m-itx if small PCs was my thing.
 
my wee heart lit up there when i saw the gigabyte orange board that would go so well with my gigabyte orange mayhems fluid.

it sank again when i saw the price.

i need a hug
 
I been waiting for this UP7 and Ivybridge to go together. Are the price £319.99 inc VAT are only for pre-order or will the price go up once it available in stock ?

Been waiting for these new mini itx boards from Gigabyte for a few weeks now, ever since I saw a preview of them.

Excellent news they will be available soon :)
 
How soon is soon?

The Gigabyte Z77N-WIFI looks fantastic, I've always preferred Gigabyte motherboards. (Plus dat black PCB) :p
 
Did I miss it, or is there no Thunderbolt on the UD7?

I know you can't fit everything onto one mobo, but they seem to have added everything else.

Or will there be a UD7-TH too?
