Question Considering mini-ITX consolidation

[Anomaly_76]

I'm thinking about setting up dual systems with my recording studio equipment, housed in a 15U Navepoint network / server cabinet.

The reason for dual systems is simple. I mostly use Linux these days, but find that I still need WinBlows for a thing or two (mostly video recording and media server), and find a typical dual-boot to be more trouble than it is worth.

I have most of the hardware I need, but I simply cannot fit my existing ATX B550 Aorus Master and mATX B450 Gaming Bazooka boards in the belly of this thing with separate PSUs. Even with mini-ITX boards, it is going to be a tight fit, and I will have to use acrylic-plate open-air chassis with magnets holding them to the cabinet floor.

Any storage susceptible to EMF will be located at the top of the cabinet to avoid data loss.

What I have at my disposal:

Two USB header control boards for wireless remote start / stop / reset

R9 5900X
Scythe Mugen 5 Black Edition
Asus Tuf Gaming RTX3090 24GB
2x16 Patriot Viper 4 Blackout PV432G320C6K DDR4-2400 (3200)
Corsair RM1000x PSU

R7 1700
Cooler Master 760GM-HDV94
EVGA FTW RTX3060ti 8GB
4x8 HyperX Fury HX421C14FBK4/32 DDR4-2133 (2400)

4-6 WD Blue 1TB SN550 / SN570 / SN580 M.2 NVMEs)

1 Crucial MX500 2TB SSD (in external USB enclosure)
1 6TB WD Black HDD (in external USB enclosure)
1 8TB WD Black HDD (in external USB enclosure)
1 Pioneer BDR-212DBK Blu-Ray Writer (in external USB enclosure)

I'm kind of a stickler for following QVL lists, but can anyone recommend ITX boards that would support any combination of this hardware?

You could look into any B550 chipset motehrboard out there. As for ram compatibility, if you're on the latest BIOS version, pretty much every ram kit will be able to drop into the slots. The sweet spot for Ryzen platforms until the B450 chipset was DDR4-3200MHz while DDR4-3600MHz was the sweet spot for B550 chipsets or B450 platforms with Ryzen 3000 and 5000 series processors/APUs.

As for the itx question translation towards your Ryzen 7 1700, you will need to do away with the 4 sticks of ram. Perhaps you could buy a DDR4-3600MHz tight latencied ram kit and then migrate the 2x16GB Patriot's over to a B450 chipset itx board...? You've left performance on the table as you're running DDR4-2400MHz on that platform.

Might want to mention your location, your preferred site for purchase and your budget for the motherboard purchase.
