Hello, i was wondering how can i mod the motherboard IO from normal ITX to Thin ITX. It wold basicly mean that i would end up with Thin ITX motherboard with full size pcie and all the features like normal one. Thanks
That is easy fixed by de soldering conectors and soldering back 90 degree onesI don't have a proper answer to your question because this is above my pay grade in terms of knowledge, but one issue I foresee is that your motherboard's (24-pin) power connector will normally take up a fair amount of vertical height. A lot of thin ITX motherboards have a DC-IN as part of the I/O area.

Good ideaI would personally try to take the shielding off the tallest part, remove anything overheight without damaging the other components, then trim and reattach the shielding.
If i cut the top conectors will it damage the bottom ones? I dont like dremel, angle grinder only.
Additional clarification on what I was talking about. You could probably cut the IO with a Dremel if you're careful.
I have a motherboard for pentium 3 but i dont have a cpu and psu. Jt is something i plan for the future and i will not try it out now, but i was just wondering. Any chance i could contact a manufacturer to simply jut put a usb and ethernet as far as the IO. I am sure that it is not hard for them to do.I'm not an authority on this, but I think that normally each component has its own link to the PCB and shouldn't disrupt ports below. Any chance you have an old crappy board you can test this on?

Can anyone actually tell my what all six 3.5mm headphone jacks do? I know one is headphone, one is mic and one is line out. I find myself wondering what they need to have six as standard for on motherboards.
