So the 1080 system isn't coming to the west until they've sold off the previous gen, but what about the boards themselves? Was there an estimated window on the AM4 Mini STX?Also agreed on all fronts with [USER=1636]@QuantumBraced[/USER] on Micro STX vs custom ITX. ASRock's engineering and concept with the DeskMini is great but that'll never hit the mainstream market (or even enthusiast mainstream) if the price isn't right. Micro just exists in this awkward middle ground that looks good on paper but not in your checkout total. There was a few month window there when Ryzen APUs had extra momentum due to GPU inflation that they could've pushed an ultra SFF barebones unit like the DeskMini but with AM4 Mini STX instead. Would've been pretty damn competitive with how budget-friendly Ryzen APUs are combined with a small and cheap chassis similar to the 1.5L Silverstone. Better late than never?
