The MINIX ITX Motherboard comes back to America
The J&W MINIX mini-ITX Motherboard returns to online retailer AMAZON.com.
Online, October 29, 2009 (Newswire.com) - When it was announced in July 2008, it was the one of the most heralded offerings showcased for the mini-ITX market space, however due to low quantities, higher pricing, and scarce availability in the US (except on certain websites, and eBay), the MINIX 780G ITX motherboard did not have the opportunity to be a staple in the mini-ITX arena. Now in 2009, the MINIX returns to America, exclusively @ AMAZON.com website which looks to be the ONLY place it is readily available (in the US). J&W has also updated the product description to include support for the new low-cost, and high performance AMD Athlon II processors!
Product Description:
They say that big things DO come in small packages! With the MINIX 780G-128M Motherboard you can build a fully functional media center or gaming powerhouse without many compromises. Featuring an embedded ATI Radeon HD 3200 w/ 128MB of video SidePort memory, connecting to DVI / VGA or HDMI port, you can take your computing experience to the realm of HD without any drawbacks. PLUS, having 7.1 HD Audio via HDMI, Optical or Coax AC3 output, your audio will be as vibrant and engulfing as your video. This motherboard also supports the new AMD Athlon II and Phenom II AM3 Multi-Core processors (up to 95W), 4GB of DDR2 800MHz SO-DIMM Ram, and Blu-Ray (w/ HDCP) Playback, not to mention the Gigabit Ethernet port, solid capacitors, a PCI Express x16 slot (supports up to x4 cards), and 4 x SATA 3Gb/s connectors (Supporting RAID 0,1,0+1), you can see why even though this board is small, it is MIGHTY indeed! And yes...it is compatible with Windows 7!
As of this date, this board is exclusively offerered in the US by Amazon.com, provided by OCTOGON Enterprises, LLC. OCTOGON decided to re-offer this product because of its functionality, and the recent release of Microsoft Windows 7, along with the fact that there are fewer offerings in the ITX market for AMD Processors. The retail price will be $168.88 (MSRP $189.99), however from October 30th to November 1st, it will be offered at the divine sale price of $147.77 (in honor of Microsoft's latest operating system) .
