Do note of the following issue I've faced as I recently built a ITX system as well.

ECS H61h2 I2, doesn't work with IB CPU out of the box. U need to update the bios which gave me error left n right n such a pain that I just swapped in a g530 from another system instead.
U gonna need another SB CPU (my i5 3470 didnt work as well) to be able to use the com for updating bios first, then use the g1610

To get the price of $109 u need to buy casing n psu from tradepac as well. They quoted me a +$15 since I bought casing n psu elsewhere. Though u can nego ur way through this issue.

As of last weekend, no stock on the Adata or any $34 ram except nyxtron.. 1 alternative is to get them price match best buy's $36 on KVR. (Tradepac selling at $42)

Slow reply, but I think for FM1 socket boards, only mATX boards available.
Not sure about FM2 though.


Could go Intel route, as suggested by Moneyface. :)
