</div>I doubt many mini-itx cases have room for a 120mm fan, but I'd expect<br>
you'd be able to replace the fan with something larger to get a better<br>
noise to cooling ratio.<br></blockquote></div><br>ZOTAC also has the ZOTAC IONITX F series Intel Atom motherboard that has 1 PCIe x16 slot, that could be a potential candidate for use here:<br><br>US - <a href="http://www.zotacusa.com/zotac-ionitx-f-e-atom-n330-1-6ghz-dual-core-mini-itx-intel-motherboard.html">http://www.zotacusa.com/zotac-ionitx-f-e-atom-n330-1-6ghz-dual-core-mini-itx-intel-motherboard.html</a><br>
