I just read this on Fudzilla's site. This little board looks simply amazing! The link is here:

Does anyone know of this company or what their website is? I've tried to get more info but can't come up with any.

Oooooo...  this is very different from the Nvidia 8200 board.  It uses the SODIMMS, but at least has 2 slots now, it also a PCIe x16 slot instead of old PCI (for better or for worse).  This board also appears to use the 24 pin power connector just to make things a bit more difficult.  If the quote price is true, then I am definitely excited about the future of Mini-ITX!

these <£100 itx boards coming to the market is very exciting. looks like it might finally take off. i know that for a non-overclocker, being able to chose something like the two new ones we've seen for an atx price is great Smiley

that boards seems to be crazy rich on onboard features Smiley

My jaw literally dropped when I saw this. WOW! The power and resources of a full board in an ITX form factor - who'da thunk it?

Check the board limitations - 95W processors. That means the 5600+ is the highest dual core you can go. While you're at it though, why not a 3870 or X2? You could use the hybrid crossfire feature then...

Does anyone know of an etailer in North America that sells J&W motherboards? I found one in Australia, but that doesn't help when you live on the other side of the planet.

Altech and Itech sell J&W.  Altech are the Australian distributors identified on the J&W website.

A quick search for J&W on best-price search engines like Shopbot show quite a few eretailers selling J&W, so they're obviously fairly mainstream.  Whether these retailers will also sell a mini-itx board is another question...  I've emailed Altech and Itech to see if they'll be stocking them...
