A

LPX and Mini-LPX

20
Q

This is the most commonly used form factor with HTPC (Home Theater) systems because it provides the smallest fan or passive cooling to minize the noise produced by the system.

A

Mini-ITX (mITX)

21
Q

This motherboard is larger than a Mini-ITX. It also requires a larger (and louder) fan to keep the system cooled, so it is a poor choice for an HTPC (Home Theater) system. It is large enough to NOT fit within the bounds of a traditional HTPC case.

A

micro-ATX

22
Q

This motherboard type measures 6.7” x 6.7” (17cm x 17cm). These motherboards are usually used in computers designed for passive cooling and a low power consumption architecture, such as a home theater PC systems.
