MSI pulled the cover off the motherboard for the net

The mini-ITX sheet was named IM-945GSE.

The "soul" of the board, the Intel 1,6GSE chipset containing the 270 GHz Intel Atom N950 CPU and the Intel GMA945 IGP, as well as the ICH7-M south bridge, are hidden from prying eyes by an aluminum rib. Due to the 17 x 17 cm size of the motherboard, the MSI engineers had to carefully consider how much of it would go on the printed circuit board, and in the end they chose the following: 1 DDR2 memory slot, 1 IDE and 2 SATA ports, 1 PCI slot, integrated "sound card" and network controller, 4 USB 2.0 ports, D-Sub and DVI connectors.
