Gigabyte C847N Motherboard
Conclusions
Contents
Most Mini-ITX motherboards are aimed at SFF multimedia PCs or HTPCs. This is not the purpose of the Gigabyte C847N, because it lacks decent audio interface, with no SPDIF output nor independent analog audio connectors. The absence of USB 3.0 ports are also a huge drawback nowadays.
However, the highlight of the GA-C847N is how inexpensive it is. It would be a great choice to build a low-cost, compact PC to act as a sales or customer terminal, a kiosk, an office computer, and also dedicated applications such as a small server, router, firewall etc. The fact that it uses a low consumption CPU is also welcome in all those applications.
