That was from last year about May '07. But that was a different M3-ATX (one that retained use of the A/C power supplies.) It's interesting to note that the other one isn't really around, and that was good advice.

THIS M3 though looks like a good solution for someone with an all in dash computer or someone needing a compact install.

2. How many Molex connectors does it have?

3. What is the wattage available on the 12v rail?

1. Yes.

2. HDD, SATA HDD, and Floppy disk.

3. It looks like @12V it's drawing 6A, so it seems it would be 72 watts, with a peak of 8, so 96 watts peak.

You might have to get a short extension to get it to mount horizontally rather than sticking right off the mother board.

I hope I've added some good stuff for this FAQ thread.
