Intel introduced the 5x5 mini-STX form factor late final year with the aim of creating a small form-factor PC between that of a NUC and a mini-ITX build. Compared to the NUC-type machines,the mini-STX allow the conclude-user to choose a CPU appropriate for the budget and requirements. We have already looked at mini-STX offerings from ECS and MSI before, but, or their computing power was restricted by the use of low-power T-series (35W TDP) CPUs. ASRock's first mini-STX machine,the DeskMini, is the first unit to have full support for 65W CPUs along with a stock Intel cooler. The DeskMini is fairly affordable - $130 gives the conclude user a chassis, and H110 motherboard and a power adapter. This review analyzes the DeskMini platform,its performance and value proposition.[http://dynamic1.anandtech.com/www/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=24&cb=&n=a1f2f01f]
