As far as the Mini-ITX system, there's nothing about the size of the board that makes it inherently slower. Manufacturers often build small systems with low-end CPUs to reduce heat and power requirements. Whatever you used probably just had a weak CPU.

How long is your particular Radeon HD7950 card? That will determine which mini-ITX cases meet your requirements.
Gandolf wrote:Back to the ssd issues. There seems to be a ton of errors in my administrative events. I just did a fresh install on my old setup yesterday just to have a computer to use for a week or two. But the mountain of erros building up make me think there is another issue with this system.
