Questions Concerning Motherboards

[JMcC18]

Hello everybody! I have been lurking for the last half an hour or so, and I can't seem to find the whereabouts of this motherboard on the Gigabyte website, but it was apparently announced some time in 2012. I haven't been able to dig up much information on this board other than some images and articles about it. Let me list them here.

I'm looking for a motherboard that has a very low profile, but allows for a good mid range gaming PC build. I'm basically looking for a desktop board that'll allow me to make a compact enough case for me to make it portable, and this motherboard is the board of my dreams, but I haven't been able to find a merchant selling it.

It struck me that this board is strikingly similar to the MSH61QI.

Maybe the MSH61QI just wasn't selling and this board is? I have no idea, but if you do please let me know! Thanks!

I do believe that the first board you mentioned is discontinued. I think the second one you mentioned was indeed more successful and took over.

If I didn't know any better, I would say that the GA motherboard you posted the links to, is the same one you mention as being similar.
