Is that Asrock Micro-STX or Mini-STX?

Cause here is a mini-STX

 

Boards are below $100

The Asrock board in the OP is a specialist form factor.

I don't know if it'd work like that considering Mini-DTX only has two slots and SLI with high end cards requires at the minimum a height of three slots. And since you have four slots for the case, you're encroaching on mATX territory.

What's Mini-DTX?

 

 

Also, if there's no PCIE slot on this STX board what are you supposed to do for decent GPU performance?

 

iGPUs won't be enough.

 

It does mention something about MXM graphics but what is that?

It's in the URL, it's micro STX. Also the ones you linked don't have any pcie for a gpu, this one has a slot for a laptop style GPU.

It won't have a mxm module due to its small size. And it's a mini stx, the article one is microSTX not microATX

I totally meant to type stx... and I was talking about the op's link, which is micro and does support mxm

Too bad that MXM is useless and won't serve any purpose other than to jack up the price of that board.

Me like this concept a lot. Me think it will be flop. Me sad

Thats the problem of some early products, they dont get too much exposure hence, not much sales even being a good product.

But that's also a small niche market..

Does this mean we could have a laptop that you can actually build inside of? That's an awesome idea!
