I have obtained an inop. O.E board for a paltry sum. The seller informed me it boots, then shortly after, the monitor goes blue. What next? Please, can someone offer advice? Thank You, Randy.

Thank You. Does the O.E. board conform to a specific form factor w/ regards to mounting. That is my only concern. I suppose I could drill new mounting holes for an aftermarket board. An ITX board w/ a 45watts or so CPU would leave room for an internal SFX psu. I already have the (2) O.E. case...

This project is still in the "tomorrow file." Thank You Color Zeppelin for your time and effort. I have been of the belief that mobo mounting distances are standard within a specific type: H97, H110, etc. I am apparently wrong. I will try a Zotac 880G ITX mobo for a fit. Maybe this weekend...

Thank You. That's an informative reply, and I really kike the phrase "gin up"...I've never heard that before. Well, this ASUS G20 I own does have a non-comp board. However, I am hopeful to find something else to bolt in its place. I believe there have been some diff chipsets used on the G20, so...

...for a mobo accepting the "brick" psu...round connection or otherwise? I have seen it used on mATX AND smaller form factors?

I would like to thank all respondents feeling responsible enough to feed my queries. I still have a bunch of questions. Do,all H170 boards have the I/O in the same persespective (location)? Thanks.

LOL...'''labor of love?". Indeed, some nice work w/ smart ideas. You are an inspiration to the novice and the experienced as well. Thank you for reply to my question.

10-4 on the x16. The ITX apparently was not meant for big vid according to marketing/accounting etc. My Asus G20 uses external pwr. The mobo looks like a mATX...dunno for sure 'cause there ain't one inside. The Asus BT!AD may use ext pwr & a mATX. HP 8200 uses brick pwr & is BTX. The idea has...

Hello & Thank You. 10-4 on the x16...my ASUS g20 utilizes external psu and I believe it is a mATX...dunno 'cause there ain't no board inside. It looks like a laptop mobo. I was aware of some ITX having the "...." connection. I was curious about the "calling" of same. Mfr's will have to sell all...

Hello & Thank You for allowing me to participate. I am wondering if there is a proper name (one or more words) for a type of motherboard that uses a round or other shape plug for DC input of power? I mean the type of DC power you get from a "brick" or such. It has been tedious at best...

Does anyone know the form factor of the G20AJ motherboard? The bolt holes are approx. 9" x 8.5". I understand it uses a Z77 chipset. Could it possibly be a mATX? Thank You.

Thanks again. Sarcasm & Irony will always show up in a forum administrator's comments. In particular, when a novice is seeking an answer.

Aiboh... . You are way smarter than me & you like to let it t be Known. Did you build a psu yourself? I

Thanks for your research Mr. Aiboh. I was up on the dim's., not on the eff. & noise. I'm surprised about the latter considering the environmental usage. I am (fairly) confident that solid state encapsulated transistor psu will be for me. Once the 4 bay SSD tray is out, there will be room for...

The dim. are std. This "medical" psu is $300.00 incl. custom cabling may be worth it. I now see why this ML05 case was less than half price of a new one and why he threw in the sfx psu as well. No offense to the reviewer in spcr, but it is impractical. The HDD bracket sits on top of the cpu...
