well im after a small motherboard ideally 3.5 inch form with pcie slot

i saw this board but it seems its no longer available to buy new.

the reason i wanted a small board is i wanted to make a small as possible file storage server. when i say as small as possible i wanted to make it no longer than 91.4 cm and no wider than 66 cm

i just wanted to ask if any of you people knew if you could still get these or if not i guess the next best/smallest option is an ITX board
 
I think you are after a pico-itx sized motherboard which is slightly larger (100mmx72mm). i have seen those still going around for example i saw one on ebay with embedded cpu it had a low power first gen i7 and used laptop ram and the other one had an intel atom cpu and there were few with ARM cpu

You can buy some via stuff like this. They are available in lot of web-shops.

Theres an example for via product:

erm yes and no when i said cm i meant as in overall chassis size not motherboard, sorry i should have explained that bit

yes i had seen a few of them kicking about but not sure how many of them if any have the PCIe slot on the board, due to the size of the chassis they come im guess its not very likely
