I had originally intended on buying the EVGA z97 Stinger for my mITX build as Im a staunch EVGA supporter. Lately these boards are hard to come by so now I have to make other choices... still adament on the mITX. It will be used for gaming and general internet surfing; no wi-fi unless it can be deactivated and wired directly. Warranty is important also. Also, will not be going x99 because of current costs and its more then I need. Thanks fellas and I look forward to your responses!

    I used this (  http://www.newegg.com/Pro..._-13-157-531-_-Product  )  in the EVGA Hadron case earlier in the past year....
     
    it is very nice quality & features,  effective & easy to work with ....

    Did you get a stable OC out of it? Seems like great board, wish I would have bought a Stinger awhile ago. Didnt think they would be so scarce without a replacement board available.

    I got this one:
    http://www.amazon.com/MSI-Motherboards-Z97I-GAMING-ACK/dp/B00RVGX92W
     
    Love the board. the m.2 slot is great too, but only fits up to 2260 officially.
    It does take 2280 (I tried) but no proper way to secure it and it over laps a chip on the back of the board.
    7 seconds from power on till I'm in windows.
     
    Can be pricey though.
    Got mine for $200.
     
    Will most likely part with it later this year, only because I intend to go with a 5930k over the 4790k

    Both of those boards look great. I'm actively searching for a Stinger but I may have to resort to those suggestions. The MSI is hard to find so it may be the Asus Plus as my third choice. The build is not pressing so time is on my side. Thanks for answering fellas!
