MicroATX and Low profile cards

Mr.Mitchell · 2005-05-04, 20:44

I found a really nice case for use as HTPC, but it only accepts MicroATX and low profile cards. I tried finding some info on these items on internet, but I could not really find anything good.

Anyone know a place where I can find info on MicroATX motherboards?
Anyone know if there are lowprofile DX9 videocards?

Nearly every manufacturer of mainboards has mATX boards in his product line, AMD based as well as INTEL based. Try Asus, Epox, Gigabyte etc.
I for myself am running this one http://www.biostar.com.tw/products/m...NHA-M%20Grand#
with an AMD Sempron 3100+, which results in a very low power consumption, and I'm glad with it.
With low profile cards I've no experiences except they are rare and expensive, as I've been told. My case, though small, is high enough to accept full size cards, and I spent much time looking for it, because the choice of full size cards is enormously bigger than of low profile ones.
