“It’s very rewarding for DesignworksUSA to see our core principle of cross-fertilization reflected in the list of winning entries for Good Design,” said Sonja Schiefer from BMW Group DesignworksUSA. “ASRock´s M8 illustrates how our designers give shape to performance in diverse industries  – from automotive to medical to consumer electronics. In finding a design language that grew out of ASRock´s core values, we created a design that is authentic and desirable and we congratulate ASRock for their uncompromising approach in the product development and for staying true to the initial design intent”, she continues.

M8 features an aluminum exterior, while hidden magnets hold the whole case together. Inside the box lies a Z87 mini-ITX motherboard for advanced portability and space efficiency. The functionality of this gaming PC lives up to its awesome appearance. The case may contain any standard mini-ITX for future upgrades, and M8 is sold as a barebone system so that gamers have the freedom of choosing their own components, such as swappable DDR3 DIMMs, any standard PCIe x16 graphics card, and also has 6 SATA3 ports lined up for storage.
