Hi guys im looking for a new mini-itx board for my new build but ive got some strict conditions
1. at least 3 sata ports
2. pci-e x16 port
3. 7.1 audio and not through optical i need a board that 6 3.5mm jacks on the back

It can be either intel or amd socket i have no special preference to either brand does such a board even exist?
 
interesting to bad for the x4 since im planning to run dedicated gfx i know that it doesnt make a tone of diference but id like to have full bandwidth
 
google this: "japan deputy service"

i've used www.celga.com in the past, but the exchange rate is not good enough for me to buy. Usually the YEN need to be over 110 before i'll buy something.

Good luck.....

Yes, I know... dnphamus13's posting is what made me aware of this board's existence; I was just pointing out a US source for it. And I've purchased quite a few things from Provantage over the years; I've found them to be reliable and to have good customer service.

At $230, clearly you'd be paying a premium for this board--that's about $90 more than what the Zotac GF9300-D-E is going for. Feature-wise, the most significant difference between these boards is that you're trading on-board WiFi on the Zotac for 7.1 audio on the AOpen board. But if the nMCP7AUt-V is exactly what you want, it's probably worth it.

If you do get the nMCP7AUt-V, please post about your experience with it.
 
If people really want the AOpen board, it is cheaper on Chinese sites such as Taobao where it go for as low as 180, import fee would send it a little over 200.
 
The nMCP7AUt-V is exactly what i need and as far as wifi goes i can alway get usb stick im pretty much decided on having it just have to work out from im going to get since i live in europe shouldnt be much of a hassle thanks to everyone for their help
 
Another (potentially) significant difference between these boards is that--according to its stated specs--the nMCP7AUt-V tops out at 4GB of RAM. The GF9300-D-E supports 8GB. Depending on what you'll be doing with the board, 4GB might be plenty. But if you're heavily multitasking on a 64-bit OS, 4GB can be cramped.

If you can find someone responsive @aopen.com, it might be worth inquiring as to whether this limitation is real.
 
im going to use it as a sff gaming rig/media center pc that i can carry around because every 3 months i go back and foward from romania to belgium and its kinda of a pain in the you know what to lug around a normal tower case
