ZOTAC NF610I-K-E LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 7050 NVIDIA nForce 610i Mini ITX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Low Price, Very Small

Cons: None

Overall Review: After my motherboard in my k45 died this turned out to be a perfect replacement. Fit perfectly into my existing case, and worked great with all my existing hardware. Assuming it lasts longer than the year my K45 did I will be a happy customer.

Pros: Inexpensive and supports older memory and CPU types (for those who have them laying about) but of course it's limited in supporting only 65w TDP processors (so if you wanted to put a qud in here, there are only a few types available and they tend to be pricey ones).

Cons: The BIOS is unpolished - misspelled items and it's very slow to respond. Not an overclocker, not even a little bit (no voltage adjustment support). The fan speed controls in the BIOS don't seem to be active - you can set the speed the fan will spin, but seemingly the active controls to spin the fan up and slow it down don't actually work, so not good for a home theater PC.

Overall Review: I've been messing around with the board for a while and it seems stable enough for a home server build, but my intent was to use it as an HTPC with Zotacs little ION GPU card. The fan controls not working put an end to that plan. The unpolished BIOS knocks two eggs off for me.

Pros: Cheap, but decent MOBO for HTPC/miniproject computer. Windows Vista Ultimate works great! Powered by my SPI/FSP 220LE dead silent PSU rated at 220W!

Cons: Only 1 USB header, Maybe a lot of power usage?

Overall Review: Interesting.. If ur PSU is not powering it, its probably one of those older 100-150W PSUs. I'm running a Sparkle (FSP) FSP220LE 220W +80% Effeciency. PSU Science: remember a motherboard draws between 40W and 80W of power! Add your CPU, +65W Core 2 Duo, a HD +20-30W, and a 24X DVDR +20W , thats alot of juice! I know HP loves to run their AMD Phenom and Athlon 64 systems off a Flex ATX/ITX 160W PSU which is barely enough in my opinion. Grab something that is 200W at very minimum off the NEWEGG (which ROCKS) or EBAYABY something for 20 bucks.

Pros: Very small board works

Cons: Ethernet is 10/100 instead of 10/100/1000 as advertised.

Overall Review: This board was advertised by Newegg and by Zotac as having a 10/100/1000 ethernet card. When I got the board and installed it, I found that it is a 10/100 ethernet card. After contacting Zotac support, I was told the information on the site is in error, and I was to check the User Manual. The retail box that the systemboard comes in also says 10/100/1000. This is very poor customer service. I have reported Zotac to the FTC for false advertising. I will never again purchase Zotac branded components.

Pros: Overall a nice board and really cheap when it comes with a rebate. I would have given it a 5, if it were not for the powersupply requirements.

Cons: Powersupply problems. This board will work with a powersupply that has 5V@20A and above. It will not work with a powersupply with 5V@12A. I do not know what is really required. Most small (itx, microatx) and/or cheap powersupplies do not produce the required power at 5V. I tried an old 200 watt dell with 5v@22A and it did work.

Overall Review: It does not make sense to buy a cheap itx board that will not run with most cheap itx/microatx powersupplies. FYI an Athena Power AP-MP4ATX25 microatx powersupply will power this board. It has 250 watts with 5v@20A. Note that it does not have sata power connectors.

Pros: right price, right features, can take a speedy processor

Cons: flat out refuses to work with antec earthwatts 380w supply. You'd think 380w would be enough to power this dinky beast with a 65w cpu, but my board blinks on only for a second before shutting down. (even with no drives etc attached). I even ordered a replacement psu and the same happened. I borrowed a big (800w+) psu from a friend and sure enough it started up. bizarre.....

Pros: a moderately priced way to dip your toe in the shallow end of the mini-ITX pond; respectable performance from Win7 on dual-core Celeron E3300 EMT64 w/ 1GB of DDR2.

Cons: Bought as an evaluation unit, evaluation is done so now it sits in a box on a shelf. if you're planning to use mini-ITX case + P/S, 5VDC@20A requirement almost guarantees you will buy a new P/S, so why not just buy a higher-end board that'll use your existing case + P/S in the first place? Or, if space isn't an issue and you can use ATX P/S, may as well go microATX for more features, better selection and lower pricing (which is what I am doing); only slot is PCI-e x1; after 22 weeks STILL NO REBATE! Let's admit it: that offer is a gimmick, nothing more.

Overall Review: Even if the rebate wasn't utter fiction, I can't see the value proposition for this board

Pros: Worked with customer's DDR 667 RAM & 775 CPU. Excellent documentation.

Cons: Get what you pay for - Limited expansion ability

Overall Review: I purchased this for a customer who lost his socket 775 board. We needed something to tide him over until he gets more money for a complete overhaul, so it had to work with his memory and his CPU. This seems to have done the trick. The onboard video is satisfactory for his Star Wars Galaxies MMORPG.
