which H61 ITX to buy ?
Asus P8H61I

MSI H61I-E35

ASRock H61M-ITX

Gigabyte H61N-USB3

They are in similar price range, only Asus is slight more expensive.

your help is much appreciated

Probably all pretty equal quality wise. I guess I'd go with Asus if I was shopping by brand in this situation. Assuming all are feature identical. To be honest I'd wait for the new Z77 ITX Asus has coming out. Its da bomb.

One more for ASUS, as far as waiting for Z7X is concerned, depends on what CPU you are planning to use... a SB Celeron or Pentium may not see any difference and I am not sure if IB will have Celeron or Pentium right away and how much they will cost...

I see the Asus P8H77-I is now released in Australia. Won't be long before we see it here in NA I'm thinking. Might want to look into that.

That is the P8H77-I. Not the P8Z77-I Deluxe that everyone is drooling over. Should be good though if you want something less expensive and not interested in overclocking.

 

[IlllI]

oh no! Yeah, it was the other one I was lusting after.

I see XPCGear is now taking pre orders for the P8Z77-I Deluxe. Not much longer I guess. I'm guessing (read: guessing) that Asus plans to release this mobo about same time as IB cpu. Just a hunch on my part anyway.
