Mini-ITX in a 5.25" drive bay

[Doobrey]

 I think you`ll have to wait for VIA`s Nano-ITX next year( 120*120mm mobos), as Mini ITX is a 170*170mm motherboard, and a 5.25" drive bay is 147mm wide internally, measured from my case.

@mdma
  I dunno about the size of other makes, I was just assuming you meant one of the VIA boards..
 I had a similar idea the other week, I was thinking about putting a mini-itx board into an external SCSI CD case, until I realised the size  :-(
 So, I`m gonna wait until the Nano-ITX comes out, and build an MP3 player/ Network Storage unit.

If it don't fit in a 5.25" I'll squash it in the case somehow!

  Get squashing ..you`ll need to loose 25mm to get it to fit..maybe hacksaw off the PCI slot???;-)
 Have a look at the VIA Epia M page for more details.
  That MiniITX site you mentioned is only 5 miles down the road from me, I emailed them 2 months ago,asking if I could collect an order rather than paying £10 postage and waiting a couple of days, but I got no reply....guess they don`t need any extra business :-?
