<p>I'll admit, it's a pretty "crappy" motherboard, but it gets the job done and I have several builds that have run very solid for many years on gigabit networks with full saturation and the firewall, DNS, etc. working "overtime" and the CPU hardly breaks a sweat.</p>
<p>The ASRock Q1900DC-ITX motherboard has the advantage that it comes with a DC-In Jack that is compatible with a 9~19V power adapter, making it very power saving. Unfortunately the ASRock Q1900DC-ITX motherboard is no longer made, but I'm just using it as an example, I have used several other cheap boards as well.</p>
<p class="info info-blue" style="font-size:initial;"><b>NOTE:</b><br>Most of the current ASRock J-series can be used. Search for any J-series board on Amazon and a list will show up on recent hardware. Such as <a href="https://www.amazon.com/ASRock-Motherboard-Mini-DDR3-Q1900B-ITX/">ASRock Q1900B-ITX</a>, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/ASRock-J5005-ITX-Quad-Core-Processor-Motherboards/">ASRock J5005-ITX</a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/ASRock-Motherboard-CPU-Combo-J3355M/">ASRock J3335M</a> (These are not affiliate links!). Many other low power brands from other motherboard producers can be uses as well.</p>

<p>I have also used the ASRock Q1900-ITX (it doesn't come with the DC-In Jack) combined with a PicoPSU.</p>
<p><img src="/includes/img/picopsu.png" alt="PicoPSU power supply"></p>
<p>You can find different brands and versions of the PicoPSU, some are better quality than others. I have two different brands, the original and a cheaper knockoff, both performs very well and they save quite a bit of power contrary to running with a normal power supply.</p>
