About this tag
The mini itx workstation tag collects WindowsForum.com coverage of compact desktop builds where small form factor design meets workstation-class hardware. A recent example is MAXSUN's Z890 Mini-ITX workstation demonstration, which routes the graphics card through MCIO cabling instead of a standard motherboard expansion slot, placing the GPU and board on opposite sides of the chassis. The discussion highlights the distinction between a relocated internal GPU and an external enclosure, and why that layout matters for fitting discrete graphics into a small desktop. Expect threads about Mini-ITX motherboards, chassis constraints, cabling, and Windows workstation configurations.

    MAXSUN Z890 Mini-ITX Workstation Uses MCIO Cable for Relocated GPU Layout

    MAXSUN has demonstrated a compact Z890 Mini-ITX workstation that connects its graphics card through MCIO cabling rather than a conventional motherboard expansion slot. The result is a different internal arrangement: the motherboard and GPU occupy opposite sides of the chassis, giving designers...
