evidence of presence
[edit]I'm using Mini-ATX motherboard for my miniPC and it's exactly smaller than Mini-ITX. I think this form factor is used only by AOpen, for MiniPC and DigitalEngine products. You can see latest product in this page. http://www.logicsupply.com/blog/page/2/ https://www.logicsupply.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/aopen_i57qmx_01.jpg The writer call it Mini-ITX, but it's Mini-ATX following a caption in the photo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.74.80.12 (talk) 11:38, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
very dubious
[edit]This article is very dubious suffering from the following serious problems
- I couldn't spot any use of the term "mini-atx" or even any links to motherboards on the links I followed from this article (note: one of the links I followed was dead)
- A google search for mini-atx brings up primerally references to a different much larger form factor
- A google search for mini-atx aopen doesn't seem to bring up anything relavent either just a mixture of articles that happen to contain those terms together, a few mistaken references to mini-itx and a load of references to a "mini ATX case" that at least according to one review actually takes microatx boards.
- Only one editor has contributed any actual content to the article, I have attempted to contact them but given their edit history and the .
If these concerns are not resolved in the near future I will most likely put this article up for deletion as probable misinformation -- Plugwash (talk) 21:41, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
- It is important that Google is not the only one "reliable source", but still this article seems not to be presented with reliable references.
- 1. Someone may ask AOPEN Inc. directly about "mini ATX" factor. If they say they do not have to do with mini ATX, this article should be made blank, not for deletion. And we have to restart discuss about existence mini ATX factor. Many articles about computer form factor mentions about mini ATX, so they should be reviewed, too.
- 2. Additionally, ATX#Variants says the different size of mini ATX from this article. The references and reliable sources is needed for ATX#Variants section as well as this article.--125.201.187.234 (talk) 06:09, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Page says 150x150, but image says 284x208
[edit]The text on the page says mini-atx is 150x150 mm several times, but [image on the side] show mini-atx in yellow as 284x208 mm. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8434:948:4300:CD7:72FF:FEE0:AC18 (talk) 15:53, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
Evidence of existence - Video
[edit]The Youtube Channel 'Gamers Nexus' has a video featuring a motherboard of this form factor, which matches the wiki image dimensions of approximately 284 x 208mm.
"About the size of a sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper"
The video with timestamp can be seen here Gamers Nexus - Mystery Motherboard from China: Salvage Chipset & BIOS Hacks
I'll be editing the main page to remove the erroneous references to 15x15cm.

Partial reversion due to references removed without any explanation. Per wiki rules, Youtube may be used as a reference, especially when including time in video, title and other information. Whole article was reverted without taking into consideration additional information and corrections and formatting. Left the conversion elements in and brought back original research from my edits LibrarianViper (talk) 00:50, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
