While many graphics card manufacturers have been focusing on just their cards, ZOTAC has been doubling efforts in the ITX motherboard market producing the best low power, ITX desktop motherboards.  Because of this, they’ve pretty much remained the uncontested ITX champs. A good example of this ingenuity would be the ION ITX-F series that was announced a few days ago. Today we get a special LIVE sneak peak at both of their new products in the silicon.
