I am seriously considering getting 6 of these http://www.jwele.com/motherboard_detail.php?419#_spec





and pairing it up with 4850e 45w cpu's, 2 sticks of 2gig ram and a pico-psu. Total for that should be @ $335 per set-up. There are other options using Intel G45 or Nvidea 8200 NB mobos that will decrease it the price to @$300 per set-up, but they do not have a PCIe slot on the mobo. As far as I know, this is currently the only ITX FF board that has PCIe. I am pretty sure for my needs, any of the onboard graphics options from these three will do fine as I would only use it to box Everquest with most things set to low, so am still deciding if I really need a PCIe fallback. I think all the onboard graphics solution are 65nm and low wattage, at least the 780G and 45G is, not sure about the 8200. I think at full load, this set-up would be less power hungry then some light bulbs, which would be great, because I already know how much it cost to run 6 ATX computers which makes doing this build actually feel economical to me even though I already have all the hardware to box all I need lol.



I will either build the 6 ITX boards in its own case, stacking each mobo upwards or I will add it into a case project I am already doing and have 6 of these ITX boards along with one ATX for my main computer.





pretty sure I can bend some aluminum that will attach each mobo right behind a 120mm fan and then figure out a way to make the cableing look clean.





Has anyone used an ITX board to play Everquest or WoW? What were your experience? I am trying to figure out if I can go with an even less powerful onboard graphics, because some of those boards look alot better for what you get for the money and would reduce each set-up cost to only $200 per unit (even less considering these use regular DDR2 and I have a shit load of that sitting around. The one I linked with the PCIe slot uses SODIMM), which would seriously make it easier on my wallet both in initial purchase and future energy savings. It's just, the best of these boards use Nvidea 7100 onboard graphics, which I think may still be good enough and it's not like I plan on using these ITX units to do anything but bot army with.
