I like that the ASRock has that extra mSATA slot on the bottom.  It looks like a good use of space/capabilities to be used with the Intel Smart Response bla bla bla, leaving 4 SATA ports for HHDs and a blueray drive.  The Gen3 CPUs and Z77 chipset can support 6 total SATA ports on a mini-ITX and ASRock seems to be the only company to really capitalize on that, as opposed to Asus who just put 2 eSATA ports on the back.

Personally, I'm happy about the August time frame. Granted I'd still like to see a mockup at the very least. I've stuck to only Intel or EVGA boards for the last few years. Have yet to be disappointed. The downside for me is that I'm sitting on a Mini-ITX Intel H77 board. Would like to replace it with something less media centric.
 
EVGA Mini-ITX and Fractal Design Node 304 in August? Yes please.

So I updated the ASRock Z68 mITX UEFI, preparing it for when it will recieve a low-end Ivy Bridge.  I like the fact that I can now change the multipler per cores used, couldn't do that before.  But I was more interested in seeing if it can hold an OC.  Tried it, nope, same problems.  Though I already know if I turn off HT, problem solved, buts thats 30% off folding production.  Hence the reason for it getting an 3rd gen i5.  So I'm still looking forward to EVGA's mITX launch and swaping boards.

Don't know which photos you want, but if you scroll back a page or two, you'll see my mITX rig.  I'm waiting for EVGA to release their mITX board so that I can fully unlock the 2600k awsomeness.

Any chance of a view on the IO?

whoa,,  bump that F-stop up a little.  Needs to all be in focus

 
sign me up to pre-order 1 please ... kkthx
 
 :)
 
I see a 24pin main power, 8pin CPU power, USB 3.0 Internal Header, CMOS Battery placement is different than I am used to but still nice, and CPU socket has been moved AWAY from the PCIe slot... YAY!!!

mSATA / mPCIe?

Very nice.

breaks out the F5 button on the products page ...

Aww IT'S SO CUTE!!!

Do want for my LAN-PC!
 
---EDIT---
Yep... definately EVGA.

i am sold on this!!!
 
gotta pre-order bitfenix prodigy arc white while waiting for this.

I like the barren look, without all the circuitry sticking out of the board, it looks like a clean PCB. Might bore other folks, but I don't care.  But what really gets my attention is the reason I choose EVGA's X58 was the high-socket placement so I could mod atypical coolers.  Most SB/IB board had junk in the way from VR coolers to CPU power connectors.  But EVGA's Z77 miniITX doesn't have it, ot at least it isn't too much in the way. 
 
Thus a very unique plus.

So, what's under that EVGA flange?
And on the barren look -- what's on the other side of the mobo?

Waiting for EVGA motherboards these days is like watching paint dry. Slow and boring. Sorry EVGA. I got me a BitFenix Prodigy and ASRock ITX board. White Prodigy was available last night for whole 10 minutes on Newegg. I managed to grab one. Auto notify feature FTW. Will be here tomorrow.

I smell a new folding rig the works.
 
So far, I like what I see.  Its going to be a tight fit with the VReg heatsink and Zalman CNPS8900 heatsink, but worth the chance.  So where is the "Buy Now" button.

For some reason, when I read this post, this commerical popped in head.  Thou I do know what you actually meant.

It also says how happy I am to see the EVGA mITX board finally. 
 
Lastly, my countdown timer is set for August 13 or when ever Newegg get the disc drive that I want for the new rig.  If they don't by the time EVGA releases this board, I'm choosing a different disc drive

It has Mini PCIE right next to the heatsink.
