In the computing world, bigger is usually better. But that doesn’t stop us trying to squeeze the same performance out of something that is physically smaller in size. ‘Why?’ you ask. Well, perhaps desk space is at a premium or maybe you simply never plan to use multiple graphics cards with a kilowatt power supply and an array of HDDs. If that’s the case, there’s a considerable space saving to be had by opting for a Mini-ITX system.

Targeting enthusiasts and gamers who want to get the best performance out of their small form-factor (SFF) system, can the Asus Republic of Gamers (ROG) Maximus VII Impact show us just how powerful a 17×17 cm motherboard can be?
