I don't get it. Someone explain this motherboard.

ASRock has an interesting motherboard for sale. OK, there's actually two:

- It's categorized by Newegg and Amazon as Micro ATX, but it's actually Mini-DTX
- It's an H110 motherboard but has an 8-pin EPS 12V power connector

I have two questions. What was ASRock's intent when creating this motherboard? And two, how would YOU use this motherboard?

ASRock site says both are micro ATX...

Since it has 2 PCIE slots, , so it's Mini DTX. It's bigger than Mini-ITX, yet smaller than Micro ATX.

But no one is making Mini-DTX case, they have to make sure consumer not buying a case that won't accommodate the motherboard, hence label them Micro-ATX.

can't answer your two questions though.
