Pico BTX

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 12:26 pm

Pico BTX is a computer motherboard and system form factor. Pico BTX motherboards are relatively small, smaller than current small ‘micro’ sized motherboards hence the name ‘pico’. They share a common top-half with the other sizes in the BTX line, but sport only 1-2 expansion slots, designed for half-height or riser-card applications.


Availability

As of January 2007, there are very limited numbers of OEM motherboards and cases for Pico BTX. Complete systems are available from Dell, which embraced BTX quickly within its desktop product line, and appears to use Pico BTX boards in its smallest machines, though no claims are made by Dell in there marketing materials.

Intel as the mainstream mainboard manufacturer is making such boards
