Gigabyte Reveals the MSH61QI LGA 1155 Mini-ITX Motherboard
While it may be working away on 7 Series motherboards, Gigabyte still has some love for the 'old' 6 Series chipsets and is preparing more products based on them. One such product is the MSH61QI, a Mini-ITX board powered by the H61 Express Chipset.
Targeting embedded markets, the MSH61QI offers support for LGA 1155 processors, and features two DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM slots, two SATA 3.0 Gbps ports, one PCI-Express x16 and two (one full size, one half size) Mini-PCIe slots, Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 3.0 ports, Line-In and SPDIF connectors, and a HDMI output. The board's availability and price tag have not been announced, yet.

In short, you might be able to get a triple slot card on that puppy,….
this is how you fit a Tri-slot to a M-ITX
The board is meant for all-in-one systems anyhow so...
and looks so big on the picture, that's why.
Do you really honestly think they will put a PCIE slot without the ability to put a PCIE card in it?
Isn't the tab on the card's bracket going to block the power jack at the rear?
EDIT - Yup.
I kid I kid.
... but maybe?
sorry for gigabyte, the board looks like oem board
and once more is that any case that support pci slot above the card, or they gonna sell it in 1 package with the case
I hope the ITX market doesn't get all jacked up messing with the layout. It seems to be heading in that direction with the current locations of the CPU sockets.
As I said this motherboard is designed for all-in-one PCs, and it will equip one of our upcoming AIO chassis that will fit double slot desktop graphic cards, hence the PCIe x16 connector.
Also, I want to precise that all the products posted in the "Enterprise PC (B2B service)" section of the Gigabyte website are addressed for VAR, distributors and system integrators, not directly to the general public. So don't worry if you don't necessarily see those products on the retail market under the Gigabyte brand :)
