An IT department is tasked with deploying new desktop computers for a large number of employees in an office with limited space. The primary requirement is to select a system with the smallest possible physical footprint to maximize the number of workstations. Which motherboard form factor should be chosen to meet this requirement?
Mini-ITX is the smallest standard motherboard form factor among the options, typically measuring 170mm x 170mm. It is specifically designed for compact, small form-factor (SFF) systems. In order of increasing size, the next largest is Micro-ATX at 244mm x 244mm, followed by the standard ATX at 305mm x 244mm. BTX is a now-obsolete form factor that was intended to replace ATX but never gained widespread popularity.
