Just a quick titbit for small form factor lovers: in our meeting today with Asus, the company revealed that it's designing a mini-ITX board (which will probably be home...
Some of you probably don't venture to the small form factor forum so I think posting it here is appropriate as well as the SFF forum :)
Lan Gear, makers of Da Box, showed their prototype mini itx case today.

So the SilverStone SG07 is a prototype and SilverStone is deciding on a few things. Mainly the color of the front.
So I just thought it would be a good idea to get your thoughts on colors and possibly other improvements.
Improvement ideas I have heard from others so far:

Hi everyone,
Post your SFF news from CES 2010 here for discussion!
I'll be posting updates on www.SFFClub.com and www.twitter.com/sffclub (follow me!)
Right now we have the new Shuttle J series showed which take mini-itx boards and Zotac H55 mini-itx board.
I'll be keeping track of the more...
So I'm about to review the P55-T36 and was wondering what you guys felt was the most important about a motherboard review.
If you could please respond to the poll question at www.sffclub.com that would be a big help but discussion here would also be good.
Do people really just read the...
In case you haven't seen because you aren't following SFFClub on twitter (twitter.com/sffclub) the SG07 will be shown at CES 2010. No specs that I have found but looks like the SG05. Perhaps with a better PSU? Who knows...but I'll find out soon...
So I've been trying to contact companies about their immediate future plans for mini-itx boards and it doesn't look good.
We basically have Intel, DFI, Zotac, Jetway, and maybe Asus making mini-itx boards. Of those only DFI and intel has come out with one supporting a current gen chipset...
SFF News first at SFFClub.com oh yeah :)
An extremely early release of site 2 (so don't judge)

Or just go to www.sffclub.com for the same thing.
Ok,
So for all the SFF fans out there SFFClub has a twitter page (yeah, I caved like a deck of cards). www.twitter.com/sffclub is the address. I will be posting updates and when SFFClub site 2 comes up a tweet will pop up whenever I add a news story to the site.
Right now I got some...
Maybe I missed this but has anyone seen the board around?

So it seems lately mini-itx has become the new craze for the hardcore SFFers. It was only a few years ago when I started SFFClub.com and SFFStore.com that mATX was rarely available and often 1-2 years behind ATX. While it is still behind we see a lot more enthusiast user matx boards than we...

I ran a review website and store for small form factor computers last year before I realized I couldn't get any help causing me to shut it all down. I ran SFFClub.com and SFFStore.com
I now have numerous cases I have been given from companies and I am moving so I don't want...
I want to know if the idea of "small form factor" is getting stronger, going away, or staying the same.
I personally think it is getting taken over by laptops. DIY SFF computers haven't really advanced much and DTX didn't go anywhere....yet.
I've been out of the loop for some time though!
**YIKES!!! People really like this....Please stop PMing me for now (and emailing). I'll let you know what I have left after I respond to what I have now. Thanks!**

A member of Wikipedia and myself are trying to improve the wikipedia article on small form factor.
We are having a discussion on different "types" of small form factor exist so I was hoping you could submit your opinions in this poll and perhaps that will help us write the article better...
Hi Everyone,
This is going to be a rather crude post but I wanted to inform everyone that the charity raffle we have been speaking at will be changed to support the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund as SFFStore and its owner are located at Virginia Tech and I (Steve) work at Virginia Tech and I am...
Some of you have PMed me about the TJ08 and I'd thought I'd let you know that I got a review up of the case at http://www.sffclub.com
Also, if you want to purchase one there is a discount for those that read the review (coupon code on last page of review for 5% off).
Finally, a lot of you...

I know AeroCool is supposed to show a new case so hopefully someone can find this!
Here is the other news so far:

AeroCool and I have been talking recently and it seems that the AeroCube will not be coming to the USA because of issues with the case design being owned by another company. Perhaps they can create another case sometime soon :(
Sorry guys! I tried

on the front page of http://www.sffclub.com but the SG01 now comes with windows. The black looks nice as most of the inside is black.
As for the SG02....some minor production things have delayed it but not to worry because the windowed SG01 should tie you over :)
I normally try to avoid posting about my website here but I do not want to reproduce this image elsewhere. I got a picture up at http://www.sffclub.com of the SG02.
PLEASE DO NOT REPRODUCE THIS IMAGE!!!! I cant stress that enough and I will go after anyone that does so. If you wish to use...
So I was looking at my Qpack today and I noticed that it has "bowed" in the middle. I generally carry the case (but not too often) by holding the bottom on each side and it appears this might have caused the soft aluminum to flex.
Have any of you had this problem? Perhaps I could provide...
Hi everyone...some of you might know me from the SFF forum or as the operator of SFFClub.com. Anyway, Antec contacted me today about the Antec Fusion case which is an HTPC system coming out in July. They offered me a chance to review the case and I was wondering if 1) you would like to see a...
So I got an NSK1300 coming my way now thanks to Antec. I might add that Antec has a great marketing department. They have been very helpful and friendly towards me...good folks ;)
Anyway, the NSK1300 is the new Aria. This case appears to be for the HTPC crowd, office man, or light gamer...
So I have been posting about the Qmicra and I noticed a lot of people called the case "fugly"...this same word appeared when I was talking about the Micro Fly as well. So I wondered to myself...is every case "fugly"...the answer is yes.
I did a quick search on these forums and a few other...

Well I am going to publish the NSK 3300 review now but it is not all complete. I have had a terrible time with my software working right so this thing has been delayed some 2 days. Anyway, the case was great and I hope you love it as much as I do. It may be heavy as can be but the thing looks...
I did sound tests for the Antec NSK 3300 and the SG01 today.
It turns out that the SG01 was the quietest with its 3x80mm fans.
at an ambient of 22db the sg01 got to 28 with three fans.
The NSK 3300 with a 120mm and 92mm running (120mm running at medium) was at 32.8db. With just the...
