Rajahal Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 ZOTAC G43ITX-A-E LGA 775 Intel G43 HDMI Mini ITX Intel Motherboard 5 SATA ports, onboard video, GigE LAN - seems like a good fit for a mini-ITX unRAID server. One consideration is that the PCI-e port may not accommodate SATA expansion cards, because, as one of the reviews says: Mini PCIe port only takes half size cards. Apparently, Zotac isn't expecting anyone to use this port for anything other than the included WiFi card. Since I was using this for an HTPC, I wanted to replace the WiFi card with a Broadcom CrystalHD decoder card. Unfortunately, the Broadcom card is a full size mini PCIe card and won't fit because of the caps and resistors which are mounted to close to the card slot. Link to comment
