Taking us into the weekend, we have a new giveaway courtesy of the always awesome Supermicro. The company has sent our community team one of their Z390 Mini-ITX motherboards, the C9Z390-CG-IW, and one lucky ready is going to win it. So if you’re angling to build a new Mini-ITX system around one of Intel’s Socket 1151 9th Gen Core CPUs, then this may be just the part you need to get started.
The C9Z390-CG-IW is essentially a miniaturized version of Supermicro’s well-regarded ATX sized C9Z390-CG, taking a lot of the important elements from that board and putting it in a mini-ITX sized frame. There is a full-length PCIe 3.0 x16 slot with steel slot reinforcement and the board also includes two PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 slots; one on the front and one on the rear. Also included are four SATA ports which feature straight-angled connectors.

I’ve written it before, but could you please prefix these posts by “US only” already in the headline so that we know we don’t have to click on it only to get disappointed.Reflex - Friday, June 7, 2019 - link
Has Anandtech ever run a international giveaway? I don't remember any. If they don't ever run them you can simply ignore these posts since they don't ever have an international option to be disappointed at not qualifying for.Ryan Smith - Friday, June 7, 2019 - link
"Has Anandtech ever run a international giveaway?"In all fairness, we used to. But we weren't being legally complaint at the time. Now that we're owned by a real publisher, we have to follow the law. (and the law is that it's really, really hard to operate a multi-nation giveaway)

I wasn't aware you ever did, but then I wasn't looking for it back then. Is it fair to say now that it simply won't happen and that it would make more sense to put "International Giveaway" in the title if you somehow happen to run one (probably in partnership with someone who has those logistics)?Xajel - Wednesday, June 12, 2019 - link
I've always wondered why it's really hard? I mean every website I see put the excuse to be it's very hard, but non is actually explaining why and how!Is it about the shipping (shipping tech/compute stuff) or other reasons.

SupermicroGaming's Facebook page has a picture of an interesting looking Supermicro branded PC case:https://www.facebook.com/SupermicroGaming
Any further info for online sellers of that case?
Thanks.
