Socket 1155 mini ITX or something else?

[Ihave2zs]

I am having the hardest time finding a socket 1155 ITX board on the market. Its outdated as can be but damn you'd think there would be more than the ones that cost 300 dollars or that aren't from China. If I have to go the chinese route it's going to use up my patience.

 

I also have this fun little board to work with, if i have to, too for this mini build. It's the GPU that's going to be doing the work since it'll be an htpc first, so i'm not worried about the shrimpy apu in the board. 

 

I know I should drop this whole thing and buy a baseline 1151 cpu that can handle 4k and a cheap board, but I totally want to repurpose my old wares for the hell of it.

There weren't that many ITX boards in that era to begin with, so it's not hard to imagine that they're hard to find now.

Just get something else. 1155 is an old platform in a time when mITX is super duper rare, so finding an mITX board now will be very difficult.

yeah.. sometimes ya just gotta let it go.. hell of it or not.

no guarantee that any 8-year old mobo (no warranty) will function for any amount of time.

will you get $300 of yahoo out of it if purchased? nope. can you resell it for $300? nope.

Found a board for 70 CAD shipping, tax and duties all in. If it works I'll post my build guys! It's just for my amusement and hopefully you guys get a kick out of it too haha.
