We've looked at a number of small form factor motherboards of late, and this one from ASRock is firmly in the 'Gaming' pile. The board comes with a single full-length PCIe slot which is reinforced to better support heavier video cards, but it also supports bifurcation using a riser card to extend one x16 slot to two x8 slots (no other Z370 based Mini-ITX board is able to do this).
