EVGA isn’t necessarily a company most people associate with small form factor builds. They’re known for great video cards and solid motherboards, but they don’t even have an mATX offering. Now they have skipped that form factor altogether and come on strong with their first mITX motherboard. Good things really can come in small packages, but is that the case with the EVGA Z77 Stinger? Let’s find out.

is it just me or does the RAM slot appear BIG?
pretty nice done with the PCIE slot. Just at the corner of the mobo

The RAM slots only look big because the board is TINY. Same for why the PCI-e slot is at the very edge. It really is staggering how small the mITX form factor really is.
 
I saw this board at CES, and hokie ain't lying, this thing is tiny!!!

Great review hokie!
 
Dawww its soo cute... are four of those arranged in a square as big as an SR-2?

What are those small mobos even for? HTPCs and Lan Boxes?

Makes me wonder what they put in laptops.

It isnt smaller then my ITX:eh?:

In this case, more lan rig then HTPC, for HTPC you can buy cheaper ITX's for HTPC's.

Laptops contain motherboards where everything is layed out flat. Very different from an ITX.
