      Hello, I'm going to build a Mini-ITX system, and I'm looking at a mobo, I was planing the intel dq77kb, it's small, intel NIC's, inboard power supply. But one problem, outdated.

      Is it a good bet? Or should I get another model? I would like to have dual NIC, the LGA it's not important, since I'm going to buy a new processor.

      The price range, max 120USD, give or take a few dollars.

      Thank you in advance
      Best Regards

        I would probably go for one of the cheap Kabini boards and add a dual Intel NIC card. Jaguar is on par with the new Atom, you get 4 cores and AES-NI.

            There are haswell / socket 1150 thin itx boards, none of them have dual intel nics though.

            Nice thing about haswell is it brings AES-NI down to i3 price level.

              I just built a device using the dq77kb board.  It is working very well.  I used an intel Celeron G550 and 120gb msata that I already had.  I also installed 8gb of ram.
