Need a little more information on the Motherboard. Asus lists four motherboard models that are all P8H61
P8H61-I is a mini ITX form factor
P8H61-M is a uATX form factor
P8H61-M LE/CSM is a uATX form factor
P8H61-M LX is a uATX form factor

Each one has different features and different types of expansion slots. Makes it harder to research the features when they are all different.
