You are an End User Support Technician for a company that is purchasing new desktop computers. A key requirement is to select a form factor that minimizes the physical footprint of each workstation, allowing for the maximum number of employees in the existing office space. Which of the following motherboard form factors would be the best choice to meet this requirement?
Mini-ITX is the smallest of the common motherboard form factors, making it the ideal choice for compact computer builds where space is a primary concern. In terms of size, Mini-ITX (170mm x 170mm) is smaller than Micro-ATX (244mm x 244mm), which is smaller than the standard ATX form factor (305mm x 244mm). BTX is an older form factor that was designed by Intel to replace ATX but did not gain widespread adoption and is now considered obsolete.
