Answer:

Mini-ITX

Step-by-step explanation:

A Mini-ITX motherboard should be able to get James’s work done. They are shorter in both width and height, measuring between 6.7× 6.7 (170mm × 170mm). They are also completely compatible with smaller form-factor cases and the ATX chassis as well. Due to its small form factor board, it is used more in embedded components and home-theater systems. If he wants to go as small as he can go, the Mini-ITX is the best bet.
