ASRock introduced the Mini-STX form-factor back in 2017 with not much success. The standard is back again with the imminent launch of the DeskMini Q870 models that are roughly the size of an ATX PSU and feature support for desktop-grade Intel Arrow Lake processors and the new CSODIMM RAM standard.https://www.notebookcheck.net/ASRock-showcases-DeskMini-Q870-PSU-sized-mini-PC-with-desktop-grade-Intel-Core-Ultra-9-285-processor.1023177.0.html
Feels like an Assmove by Asrock. Plenty of people have been waiting for DeskMini since CES 2025. They've already presented the DeskMini B860 and X600 (v2) back then, and after all these months still nothing on the market. And now they show the same devices again, and still nothing on the market. Not even a release date. Delays and paperlaunches have become really annoying since 3-4 years...
I'll probably have to backpedal a bit: after checking the Asrock release history, it looks like their Deskminis and Jupiters were always shown in CES first and then (again) announced later at the end of May - beginning of June. So it's probably not much different now...
