For the longest time the Micro ATX motherboards were regarded as an OEM option designed for desktop and mini tower applications. In recent years the form factor has been given new life with the advent of the HTPC. However you still find that most enthusiasts are using gaming hardware to power their home theater systems. This seems a little strange until you consider that most powerful motherboards cannot be found in the smaller form factor. Well it would seem that wait is over. In this review we will be looking at the new MicroATX motherboard from DFI called the LanParty Jr 790GX-M2RS. This motherboard is a perfect blend between the enthusiast power we have come to expect from DFI and the practicality found in the smaller MicroATX hardware offerings.
