mITX mobo, not many options for LGA1155?

[maxiedaniels]

I'm trying to find the right mITX mobo to use for my HTPC build. I'm converting my old system, which has an i7 3770k, so I want to stay LGA1155.

Problem is, it seems like the new mITX boards are LGA1150. I'm really liking the newer boards though... ex. USB3 seems to be more prevalent. I mean, I just looked up a comparison review (from late 2012) of the best mITX LGA 1155 boards, and I can't find the majority of them because they have been replaced by LGA 1550 versions.

I've used this board before in ITX builds. Worked pretty good.

Apparently it's only SATA2, there's no headers for USB3, there's only two USB3 ports, and according to reviews, it doesn't have a graphical BIOS.

The only things that bother me are the SATA2 and the USB3, however my point is just that it's annoying I can't get a new up to date version with LGA1155, USB3, SATA3... that should be standard now.

Thank you for the link This is what I went with. I also saw the Stinger, but according to a few comparison reviews online, it isn't great. That MSI board got pretty good reviews though.

This is the one I would get if I were going mini itx on 1155 socket. You can get em used sometimes for not too bad, and sometimes it'll be priced pretty well on like amazon.
