This is one of the first Mini-ITX boards that I have found made with Bay Trail cpu. It is the Intel Quad-Core Celeron Processor J1900 (Bay Trail) and it looks pretty interesting. For starters the boards embedded processor comes with a passive CPU cooler. Wanting a fanless on the robot. This can be done since the Intel Celeron Processor J1900 that runs up to 2.41GHz has a max TDP of just 10 Watts!
If you look a little closer you’ll notice that a 24-pin ATX power connector is missing from the board. That is because ASRock designed this board to fit in very compact Mini-ITX cases and ditched the traditional power supply and put a DC-in power jack on the rear I/O panel! Since this board runs on DC power it could also be useful to those wanting to build a PC for a car or anything else running on DC.Like a Robot....
