i just put together an itx using a cheaper foxconn itx board 1155 
chipset; just for front end with celeron only works great w/nvidia card. 
wanted to get asrock but was on a budget. boards get consistent good 
reviews on newegg and i have used their boards for atx and i have been 
very happy with their stuff. as for this specific board i would look at 
newegg reviews for a better idea.
