Interest check: An updated MiniITX-MiniMig ( Pics!!! )

@Illuwatar

For the final rev would you \ could you include a mini-itx case backplane plate cutout for the connectors with the boards? That would be awesome...

Also, what is the cost of a fully assembled\populated board?

[trip6]

Illuwatar's Mini-ITX version of Mini-mig is the one I would prefer... If someone could fabricate a metal back plane cutout then you could use any standard mini-itx case... Standardization is the key to populating this device to the masses...

Just my 2 cents...

The cases that you made so far are great designs and if you made one for this version it would probably be appreciated by those who purchase the board...

However, my opinion is that if a standard back plane is created then you can use any standard mini-itx case. So this allows flexibility for a lot of casing options to fit every budget and allow some customization to the look and feel of one's mini-mig by case choice.

Just my 2 cents...

I have emailed Illuwatar and I can easily adapt the Minimig I created

to the new mini-ITX Minimig.

I just need a board.

In doing so there is no need to use a backplate.

Let me know what you think.

Ahh... I love the smell of retro project collaboration in the morning....

Excellent work... I still say the missing piece is designing a metal backplane cutout so that any standard Mini-ITX form factor case can be used, and then figuring out how to mass produce the backplane cutout... But the board is coming along wonderfully....
