A nice ITX solution to be released in November aims to be cheaper than single components.

Ps: I am not related to this

These aio are getting stale already, plus the small footprint of the original setup is much more appealing (to me at least) even if a mini itx solution is def better than other crappy iterations. Not having a better audio DAC tho is criminal and idiotic at this point.

It has also 2 player SNAC

i would be interested depending on the total cost

I wouldn't expect a good pricing since for the past 2 years, the price of the DE10 nano went up by 50 to 100% depending on where you live. And all in ones are 400$ on average when it was 250/300$ 2 years ago... It's a bit crazy right now on that front to be honest. I can recommand the Mister as a beautiful retro all in one for 250/300$ but not for 500$ (it might get there by next year sadly )

Speak for yourself I find cable management from every angle pretty much negates the "small footprint" of the stack!
Personally I'm just waiting on availability between this and the heber board!

I always speak for myself, I won't stop you from buying a spaceship case for a 5 cm board

If we leave availability aside, I would take what best suits my project. MMS is more based on console, has an expansion slot and brings 128MB Ram modules with it. The board shown here is more PC case compatible, also as far as the power connection is concerned, but has no expansion slot and no 128MB Ram. I personally ordered the MMS.

But I'm also looking forward to a prize. Especially because it seems that the Mistix should no longer be produced because it was too expensive.

I know you're joking, but if I was filthy rich, once the superscaler core is developed I think one of those big moving afterburner cabinets would be a dream mister setup (assuming there was some way to support it of course)
I'm just always seeing people rubbishing these types of boards in favor of the spaghetti stack, each to their own, I just want to show there is support for the larger, tidier pojects!

Yeah, I already have a RAM module and i/o board but don't use it as much as I'd like due to it being an ugly pain to leave set up, so the MMS would be paying again for RAM, I'm super intrigued about the expansion slot, since that is very specific to that board, and how much it will be supported. I love the idea of it but waiting to see how it actually plays out.

Prices are set now. Board started at 149,99€. Not sure if vat is included.

nice, i was looking at the website but seems i cannot order this product yet?
also any specific type of atx power supply recommended?
guessing that any decent brand gold / platinum power supply in the lower ranges will do the trick?

is there any manual available for this pcb and does the power switch do "instant on/off" or "instant on / 3 second off"?

when can i order one?

Think that Manual will follow, no Preorder yet. Think that a pico PSU is more than enough for this. There is a short video on his site, too. It shows the modes of the Power switch Button.

Preorder will open in the next few days, he wrote on his website.

i'll be keeping tabs on it then i guess

Think i will order one, too. Have already orderd the MMS. But this one i will put in an nice Alu Case.

i too have considered this all in one system as my second mister, i did see a new post on the website today https://www.d3fmod.com/batch-1-pre-order-announced/

That sounds very exciting. I think that the first batch will sell out very quickly due to the general shortage of components. Guess that 50 pieces per Batch are produced.

the good news is no big wait times with making a small batch, and only selling what can be made in a month, i will see soon and decide.

We will see if the intervals between the batches will also be as short. When I read that the procurement of components at MMS took between 6-8 months and that the crisis is currently probably not easing due to the time of year ...

at least if i'm able to pick up one so i can finally slam this thing in a case i'd be happy

So i ordered the board the minute the shop came up, though no confirmation mail(s) as of yet, does d3f visit these forums?

Includes:
The Mini-ITX Ironclad Plus mainboard
All interconnects needed to integrate your DE10-Nano with stand-offs
I/O Backplate already mounted
PC Speaker

Available now for Order here:

And it seems would fit into this C64 shell: https://myretrocomputer.com/

are you a representative of d3fmod?

See, now why did you have to post that C64 case? I'm already broke as it is....

How does it work together with the MT32-pi?

Orderd one too. Mail with confirmation was send a minute later...

heh, the moment i read your message it struck me......

Hyperactive spam filter must've caught it, and yes there it was ofcourse.

Hello,
Is it sent from Europe ?

He's using correos mail to send out his stuff, so i believe Roberto is from Spain.
