In the last years Intel already has brought some movement into the market by launching their low-priced Mini-ITX Mainboards (D201GLY2(A), D945GCLF(2)) but now again is starting a new revolution with a new generation of mainboards.
The power consumption of the new Intel „Half-Height“ mainboard, when comparing to his bigger brothers, has been reduced from over 30W to below 20W. This has been achieved by using the new Mobile Atom CPU which can be operated with passive cooling. And in addition Intel has managed to reduce the height to an outstanding 2 cm. This will lead to new generation of Small form factor systems with high feature density in a very small room.
But also when it comes to extension possibilities Intel has brought in some new ideas. There optionally will be available two new modules :
- Mini-PCI-express GPRS/UMTS–modul with integriated WLAN
- USB SSD modul as HDD substitutio for integration on the internal USB connector
Both modules can be installed without increasing the overall height of 2 cm
.
Notes:
- The board can be powered directly from an AC/DC adapter.
- For vehcile-operation you can use the "DC/DC converter for Intel D945GSEJT".
- The board comes with a standard I/O Full height ATX rear plate.

Good product amazingly thin, the price is the lowest that I was able to find.
I'll going to make a 24/7 mini server with this board but a couple of things aren't like I expected to be.
1 - The processor heatsink is hotter than I would expect and I'm worried about fanless usage (maybe it's only the current hot weather but ...).
2 - The power cable supplied has two female 4 pin T-Molex connector and one female Sata connector insted of one Molex and two Sata as you can see in the picture. I need to connect two 2.5" Sata disk so I'm little disappointed but with a little mod I'll reuse this cable.
3 - No cable adapters are supplied for using the headers available on the board. If you think to use any of those you need to find the right cable apart.
