Mac Mini M4 is amazing value for money especially if you can get one on student discount. The only downside seems to be text scaling issues whilst connected to a 4K TV using HDMI 2.1 in native 2160p format. Have you ever tried connecting yours to a TV?

SMC International are the only ones who stock this B850M Mortar Is this the same company you are referring to in your post? Cause they are the only ones who have this particular Board in stock. Thats in all of India! Reddit guys are ordering it direct from China because not available to buy in...

I like Fractal using their case with my old 4790K System, nicely designed. Normally ya you get a huge choice in the UK. But I dont know whats going on at the moment seems to be a dearth of MSI ITX Boards over there. Think they are cutting back production due to the tariff situation.

Joking aside your advise is good, thanks.

Wise words my friend! But, But look at how beautiful this looks(can be made with mATX too but would prefer not to, sounds dumb I know !

OK, you live in Delhi? Any vendors you'd recommend?

Ok I better let others know why I want ITX. I'm an expat and plan to move back to London either next year or the year after. I want to take the the Board with me in my Hand luggage. Also, later I want to make a teeny-weeny PC to put under the TV with just M.2 storage and a IGPU.

I'll keep the new Build for next 5 years at least so dont mind spending a bit more. Two reasons for MSI B850 range: They have switched to Qualcomm chipset much better, have had horrendous problems in the past with shoddy Realtek drivers. Has Wifi 7 so future-proofing as you say and MSI B850...

Not possible unfortunately - I live in Goa.

ITX ARE available: MSI MPG B650I Edge WIFI B650I has Realtek Wifi, B850I has Qualcomm Wifi 7 otherwise I'd have got the B650I

Anyone know how long it takes for newly announced boards take to make it through to retail channels? I want to replace my aged 4790K PC. Will be used mostly for Home Theatre use (Music and 4K/HDR Movies, Netflix, Hotstar etc) with occasional video editing. Maybe gaming sometimes for odd youth...
