If you find this impressive, then you missed this Asus board ;) (1x PCIEX16 + 18x PCIEX1)

I wish they still made those. I can't even find them secondhand.

Anyway, I've never seen mining boards in mITX. Not sure form factor would give any advantage; any enclosure for airflow would have to be large enough to contain the GPUs or at least allow for all the wires.

...although now I'm thinking of a small STB-like "mining box" where the USB ports are extended to the back. Who makes custom mobos? Maybe we're on to something.
