DFI P55 Mini ITX

[Keyboard]

Ummm there is a new revision of the Zotac board that just came out. The old one was GF9300-D-E and the new one is GF9300-G-E. They added a third sata port (so 3 sata + 1 esata) and solved the W-O-Usb problem.

Looks like the GF9300-G-E is already obsolete - now there's the GF9300-I-E. It seems to be just the new features of the G-E but with an overclocked GPU:

Now that's what I call a short life cycle...

Only problem is no where has it in stock.

So does this mean that Scan are receiving the board this week?

When I spoke to them on Thursday they knew nothing about it.

[pinocchio]

Has anyone seen a thread where the board has been installed in a SG05 case by any chance? Any known problems with either the fit or the 300W PSU limitation?

[pinocchio]

Still not on the Scan site even though they're supposed to have had them since Tuesday.

Yeah beginning to wonder if this is EVER going to make an appearance over here.

I have been debating whether to use one of these or a 775 set up when i get the money in from selling my Atom systems in the next week or so, as i can't wait too long the way things are going it looks like there wont be any choice.

It's been available for some time i gather just about everywhere else but not here in the UK .

Just had this reply from Scan.

This motherboard is currently under NDA and has not been released as yet. Please continue to check the web site in the New Year for this release.

Quite why its under NDA i don't know, its up on DFI's website you can buy it elsewhere around the globe, it's almost as if they want us to buy it elsewhere??

[pinocchio]

Spoke to Scan today and they said the items are still under NDA.

Seems they don't know they're on sale all over Europe.

Think I'll place my order via Germany later on today.

[Clunk]

There's no NDA on the DFI board, it's been public for a while now.

[nibbler]

What does NDA stand for? non-disclosure agreement?

[Clunk]

Yes.

[pinocchio]

Or perhaps in this case....

Nobody Does Anything?





















I'll get my coat.....
