The first Mini ITX board I have seen with 8 Series video chipset.
Great for any project where size is a issue . .while still having some gaming capability.
Found it on Newegg <=-

I've been looking for more Mini ITX boards too. Is it just me or does anyone else not trust Jetway brand?

A lot of their cheaper boards are crap, from the reviews that I've read. The expensive ones seem to have good reviews, though.
I have never had any problems with a Jetway motherboard. The Only one I would seriously recommend against is the manufacture PC Chips the two motherboards I have bought from them were doa.
...might keep that in mind for my (upcoming) Car PC!

I've had bad luck with ECS mobos before. I've used Jetway ram with no probs though.

ECS are built down to a price (read: cheap, often junk). The newer (DDR2) era boards are better - back in the Socket A days, it was a crapshoot whether the capacitors would blow before some I/O function checked out - got a PCChits M810LR with no more onboard audio in one of my machines, gonna retire it when the PS/2 ports give in...
I've never really heard anything good about Jetway, but I've only had experience with one model, a socket 754 board with an ATi chipset which killed itself once but was fine once replaced. I'd be hesitant to buy one, but they have some cool SFF stuff, that's for sure... I'd say they're around Biostar's level (OK budget stuff), but perhaps without that level of stability.
The motherboard in my parents' computer is a really cheap pc chips, and it works great. I was smart enough to buy it new, not open box this time. It's been running for almost half a year, now.
I have found ECS to be the most reliable. I have said before you can use them as squares in a hop scotch hook them back up and they still work. Not the greatest as far as overclocking is concerned though. If components are adequately spaced. . that alone increases the longevity of the board. I always look at the layout of the board. When things are crowded such as onboard audio, lan, video, or if the memory slots are located within a close proximity of the cpu slot you are more likely to have problems.
However. . with adequate airflow/cooling there shouldn't be a problem.
I only got one ESC board. It had an ATI chipset, and, as far as I know, it was DOA.
