Mini ATX

Mini ATX or Mini-ATX is a generic name that may be used by motherboard manufacturers to describe a small motherboard, and has been used by AOpen in reference to a motherboard design with dimensions 15 × 15 cm (5.9 × 5.9 in).

Not to be confused with Mini-ITX, the motherboard form factor compatible with ATX and micro-ATX mountings.

Mini-ATX motherboards were designed with MoDT (Mobile on Desktop Technology), which adapts mobile CPUs for lower power requirements and less heat generation, which may be beneficial for home theater PCs (HTPC), in-car PCs, or industrial use.
