System may be supported by the main Thin Mini-ITX motherboard, daughter boards,
and discrete devices.
Daughter boards would be required to support walkup I/O, backlight inverter/driver,
and front panel interface.
Discrete devices with direct cable attach could include the flat panel, HDD, ODD,
camera, touchscreen, IR receiver, IR emitter, right/left speakers, digital microphone,
CPU fan, and system fans.
1.2.2 Tiny PCs
The Mini-ITX form factor enabled chassis down to the 4 – 8 liter range. Standard
chassis built around Thin Mini-ITX motherboards may shrink to below 4 liters, creating
a “Tiny PC” category. Tiny PCs include slimmer designs that make especially good use
of the lower height inherent to Thin Mini-ITX motherboards. Figure 1-2 shows a
comparison between current mini-ITX vs. Thin Mini-ITX motherboard thickness
characteristics.
