In Channel market, everybody knows that DFI sells hi-end overclocking & performance motherboard in LANParty brand.
However, only few people know that DFI is even better in applied computing platform.
In industry motherboard market, quality & stability are everything.
Ive seen some company demonstrated ACP boards in Computex, the boards are all simple & smaller than microATX.
The QC requirement of ACP (Applied computing platform) is very strict; all ACP boards have to take switching surge & flash impact.
And, the longer warranty period & better material are also the differences between channel motherboards & ACP boards.
The leading role today is DFI CA230-BF (mini-DTX; 20.3 x 17 cm), it could not be installed in mini-ITX case.
DFI adopts the most powerful Intel integrated chipset GM45+ICH9M into this board.
The packing: For IPC only, it is very simple.
Accessories: User manual, Driver CD, SATA cable, IDE cable, I/O shield, extension USB.
DFI CA230-BF
The layout is very solid.
Bottom side of board
1 PCIe x16
1 PCIe x1
1 PCI (Its awesome that adopt so many slot in mini-DTX)
1 IDE
4 SATA II with AHCI
LAN: Realtek RTL811C-GR; Audio: Realtek ALC262
One ceramic thermal pad covers the south bridge.
Upper side of board
2 SO-DIMM for DDR2 667/ 800
Rear I/O
1 D-sub
1 DVI
4 USB 2.0
1 RJ45 port
2 COM port
It supports mPGA478M socket (For notebook use), you can find one QX9300 on the socket. Its my first to use Hi-end NB CPU.
The tiny cooler works well, it dissipate heat efficiently to keep the temperature low.
The white connector calls LVDS LCD panel, it designed for connect cashier/ ATM/ POS and other interactive devices.
