What is a defining feature of a motherboard utilizing a form factor smaller than the regular desktop varieties and typically used in mini-PCs and HTPC configurations?
Non-standardized sizing specific to certain vendors or systems
Increased expansion slots included for additional peripherals
Compact form factor suitable for smaller cases
Largest and most versatile option for high-performance systems
One of the key features of ITX motherboards is their reduced physical dimensions compared to more commonly found desktop motherboards. This compact size is what allows ITX motherboards to be used in mini-PC and home theater PC (HTPC) builds, providing enough space for basic components while maintaining a small footprint. The standard ATX and its smaller variant, microATX, offer increased expansion options and larger sizes for more traditional desktop PCs. Proprietary options are not standardized and may not be suitable for general use in small form factor cases.
