Any SFF enthusiasts here?
I present you mini stx. 5x5 (14.5cm?) Yet another format (next to thin itx) that'd be amazing, if only it'd be sold in anywhere the west.
Where do you get your tiny motherboards, Jow Forums?

>no full sized PCI
What's the point? Just buy a laptop. At least then it's small form factor is put to better use with the advantage of taking it around without all the peripherals.
>desktop cpu > laptop cpu.
>price.
no full sized PCIe
>what are adapters
This is the next stage of PC building after everyone and their mom learned how to build "gaming battle stations".
>what are adapters
Something that completely defeats the point if this form factor. Next thing you'll tell me this case requires an external power brick
I would definitely go for something like that if it was with AM4 socket, so I could put in R5 2400G.
Got the Asrock Mini, only problem I have with it is that I had to use shilltel CPU. Would have worked great with an i3 8300 but that shit is way to expensive for entry quadcore.

what, building what is effectively the PC equivalent to the trashcan mac with even shittier cooling and less expandability while acting like you’re somehow better than a fortnite kiddo who can at least expand their system if needed?
the next “stage” of PC building is growing up and buying a proper OEM workstation or portable instead of pinching pennies on stupid shit like this
asrock is pretty much the only one who does them
Full desktop CPU, that's the point.
Good luck getting a 7700k laptop for cheap.
These make good HTPC's that you can eventually salvage the parts for other builds.
