Looking to put an Intel i7 3610QM into a MiniITX or MiniATX motherboard, however, I'd much rather hear from the experts because it'd be really nice if the CPU could fit in the MOBO.
This is just a little project of mine. I'm not expecting any miracle machine, just something that could run Windows 7 32-bit, and mostly quiet. Hoping to fit it in a MiniATX case too.
Any suggestions are always appreciated.

I can't check it's CPU SUPPORT LIST.
Hope you see why that matters.

Thanks for the help; thought it'd be a fun little project. Didn't find a board with any reasonable price. Most ranged from $200-500+ which is out of the question. Thinking of selling it but nobody in their right mind would buy a PC with sub-par specs when a decent HTPC can be build for under $250.
