i would love one of these in a mitx form factor

pretty sweet there! ... can't wait for the uatx version. I'm really looking into using a H57 uatx for a bluray playing monster htpc using the Core i5 661. All this is going to rock for that.

We want the details NOW!!! Agent Tiny force it out of him or it's no more double stuffed Oreo's for YOU!!

Some nice HTPC's should come out of this. So H57 ATX board and H55 mATX?

The H55 will probably me MATX.

The two motherboards you see there are the exact same ones, just form a different angle.

 

Look closer, they are NOT the same MB lol.

As Jacob said, "more details coming soon"

I see they have onboard video but also do Sli/Crossfire.. I hope you guys make these affordable because thats the one area for me that has ketp me away from EVGA boards vs other brands as there are alot of boards at $100-150 range on 1156 socket and i can't see giving more then what the cpu cost..

No HDMI or that will be on end product? We need that LPCM 8 channel sound so we do not have to deal with audio cards any more.

Thanks Jacob. mATX board is going to be nice for HTPC's. There for that HDMI port will become important part.

Jacob, might want to be explicit on the kinds of CPUs this board is meant to take, i.e. those that assume just because the socket is LGA1156 doesn't mean a Lynnfield without a videocard will give video because the integrated GPU isn't in the chipset, it is in the Clarkdale CPUs.

So are these mainly for HTPC's?  I'm in the market for a new mobo.....

Intel markets these at users who don't need a dedicated graphics card, what they do with it isn't restrictive to one use, like HTPC (which can be done with any board, you can grab a multi-socket server and turn it into a super-Tivo with webhosting capabilites ).  No doubt a majority of EVGA users will at least put one in there, given their reputation and the kinds of customers they attract.  Which also explains the relative cost of their boards compared to others.

I don't see the point in these being ATX and not smaller...

Such form factors only appear if EVGA sees a market for them; that is, enough people should ask for the option, it may be too low right now to warrant making one in the hope it sells well (although it could just appear later); all business need a minimum garantee.  While other vendors might have higher demand for mATX in their markets to warrant simultaneous debuts, even EVGA debuted the X58 micro late in the game, so to speak.

 

you mean like now?
