Here you can see the PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slot. Just drop your preferred graphics cards in there and you will have it up and running at full-speed in no time.

This is a bit of a miss, this is a fully functional M.2. slot, just the mini-me version of it. It is too small to fit a regular M.2. SSD, yet functions as slot for an optional WIFI module that you will not be able to purchase anywhere. ECS should have fitted this slot with that module, period.

The backside here, 17x17cm folks. Good to see is that ECS now uses a dark black coating for its PCB. It looks so much better opposed to the almost beige color used in the past.

And yeah, we'll equip this 125 USD Mini ITX motherboard with a Core i7 4770K, 2133 MHz Corsair Dominator memory (2x8GB), we'll water-cool the processor and in a later stage mount a GeForce GTX 780 Ti on there. Everything of course loads from an SSD. This is a fully fetched and powerful PC my friends.
