H5.S Fanless Chassis
We've take the H5 platform and made a completely clean front panel for it to achieve that minimalist design we all crave. H5.S would make a perfect silent front end for XBMC, MS Home Server, or whatever you can think of. H5.S supports microATX and mini-ITX, internal mounting for 150W adapter and 80W power supply, and has 2x3.5"/2.5" plus 1x2.5" HDD bay.

MB not on this list should also be compatible if they meet requirement on the compatibility page. This list will be periodically updated base on user feedback. microATX standard spec is 9.6"x9.6" but it also comes in small factor such as 9.6"x 8.3" or 9.6"x7.6". Small factor microATX mobo is recommended for better installation experience. It would allow more space for sata/power cable arrangement.
For H5 and H3 series, CPU with >65W TDP is not recommended. Due to the passive nature of the chassis, motherboard with high TDP chipset or onboard IGP such as Nvidia 9300/AMD 785G is not recommended. The HDPLEX fanless chassis is best for CPU with integrated GPU via 32nm or more advanced manufacturing process.
