what the guide you're watching J is two cents and it's really no surprise that sometimes people just like their components to be big and I mean like really really big kind of like this guy behind me here the half stacker it's pretty big now that's not just true for computer cases it goes for a lot of things when it comes to computers for instance you could go with this giant 480 millimeter radiator it'll do a 40 millimeter radiator it's mean look please know the difference in that so when it comes to computer parts there's a lot of different choices that you could go with when it comes to size now if you're one of those people that's really not interested in building a gigantic computer maybe you want to go more with a micro ATX board like this one here which is even smaller but what if even that is too big for you what if you want to go even smaller well then you're looking at ITX format now ITX format is really as small the problem with that is sometimes the ITX motherboards just are a huge compromise when it comes to power and features well until today because you see MSI has come out with the z87 eye gaming ITX motherboard with a z87 chipset I mean look at it this is the box now I know you guys aren't too interested I'm looking at unboxings but hey there it is this thing is tiny I feel like eating it it's just so small I don't know to do with it I just now before we move on to the motherboard let's go ahead and just see what comes in the box this motherboard comes with a really cool MSI gaming badge a big one and which is kind of ironic give you a huge badge small motherboard stick that on your case we've got your driver software your software disk you've got your i/o shield your typical SATA ports here your MSI installation guide you've got your users manual course with the dragon on there and these antennas antennas you say well this motherboard has not only built-in Wireless but if you look at the front of the box here it has the world's fastest Wi-Fi on there at 867 megabits per second OEE 802.11 AC 5 gigahertz wireless onboard that's important because if you're building a small form-factor case like this chances are if you're building a small form-factor PC that would go in an ITX case chances are you need portable well Emma sighs thought ahead and said well if you need portable chances are you gonna be tied down to a wire so that's exactly what they did on this board here they've included the wireless built-in right here this board comes with everything you would expect it to come with in a large format like a full ATX board you've got your dual channel RAM here you've got two slots you've got your PCI Express 16 X slot right here and you've got high-definition audio it comes with the killer e to 20 new cards got eSATA it's got four USB 3.0 s two USB 2.0 s it's got your optical out it has HDMI output DisplayPort output DVI output and of course 7.1 surround audio that is really killer now of course one of the things that the MSI gaming line of products is known for is the dragon and there's no compromise with that right here as you can see you have the dragon heatsink on there no different than any other MSI gaming board and then you've got your chipset cooler right here which just looks fantastic now you've got USB 3.0 connectivity you've got five SATA 3 ports on here and then of course this does have onboard RAID controller and then you've got let's see here it looks like one - it looks like you do have two PWM controlled fan headers I can see one two it looks like we do have two onboard USB expansions I do see your AC 97 audio and your HD audio ports and what I really like is the fact that on the back it still has a clear CMOS button which is really important if we're gonna be doing overclocking what's really neat is the way they implemented the battery the save space on the board instead of having the battery laid out flat the battery is laid vertical to the motherboard just in a slot right there so it could be kind of tight to get that battery out of there looks like a little lever here that you just push down and it pops right out but there it is so it comes of course standard with all of the features that you would expect here with a high-end motherboard I mean it's got well it looks like all black capacitors here it's got audio boost the killer Ethernet the OC Genie 4 which you know can automatically overclock your chipset for you and it's got all the military class specs that you would expect from MSI but what I think really sets this board apart is the fact that it's got that onboard Wireless now yeah I mean it does kind of clash a little bit because the PCB on the wireless is green and it's got the white sticker on there chances are it's not really going to be seen but you know hey there has to be some compromise on there because everything else about this board just seems to be absolutely perfect I mean the quality of the parts the black PCB I mean everything on this just looks perfect and I really have no complaints about it now if you're looking at building a small form-factor like this this is definitely a board to check out now at the time I don't really like to talk about pricing for the most part but I'm gonna go ahead and put it out there in this video because I know people are gonna ask at the time of filming right now this board is coming in at about $200 so I think says MSI says that their price point is on this is $1.99 and that is as of the filming of this video of course over time that's probably gonna change so there it is guys if you're looking at building a farm farm Villa farm built a farm with your computer maybe a data form may be a bit mining farm so there you go guys the uncompromising z87 I Gaming Mini ITX motherboard from sigh giving you everything you expect from the z87 chipset without sacrificing the power for form factor and just to give you a little bit of a size comparison on this there's my hand check that out I don't have a very big hand and this is not a very big board and it let me look that's a quadrat and that's the motherboard it's pretty damn small check it out guys you know to do if you like this video click that thumbs up button if you liked it mash the thumbs down button if you hated it and tell me what you guys think about this motherboard put it down in the comments let me know what you think about this let me know what it--it's motherboards you have used and as always guys I will see you in my next video and until then go and watch another one of my videos or something or talk to me on Facebook or maybe Twitter or maybe that their Instagram thing here that's where all the young kids are doing today I have no idea what I'm talking about now you can go that is all
