I think it may come with a cooling solution.? But even if it does not, apparently the memory is standard, PSU is standard, it fits into a standard PC case. And unlike the last ARM MB I looked at seriously you can apparently install a standard ARM version of Ubuntu and away you "go".
At least based on the review I saw (I think).
Could you post the review you saw so we could all look at it?

"One of the peculiarities of the ASRock ALTRAD8UD-1L2T platform is that it comes in the company's proprietary Deep microATX form factor, which will prevent it from installing into regular microATX chassis. In fact, we don't even know if it can be mounted into standard ATX or Full ATX towers. Yet, ASRock Rack will probably offer a chassis to install such motherboards into racks or desktop environments."
So "you can apparently install a standard ARM version of Ubuntu and away you "go"." is probably not correct.
What does the case mounting have to do with installing the operating system?
One could leave it sitting on a box on the desk if they wish and still install any OS they want. the two things don’t really have anything to do with each other. But looking at the board pics and mounting locations, it’s only just a little longer than standard, probably won’t cause much issue in most ATX cases today.
From what little I’ve seen regarding Ubuntu for Arm, there’s not much issue with it, at least on a basic install. Not sure the BOINC situation, but I can’t imagine it’s much different than installing it for something like Raspberry Pi. Should be very similar at the very least.
I have discovered that standard ATX and ATX/Extended computer cases have a lot of holes for stand offs we mostly never use. Including stuff that appears to fit Micro and perhaps Mini MB's.

George the case you sent me had a micro ATX mb in it until today when I decided to send it back because either the cpu I bought for it, used, or the memory I have didn't work. Here is the MB:
NO it's not a name brand, to me, but with a 16/32 core cpu it didn't need to be if it worked. Both the cpu and the MB, I bought 2 of each and only tested one of each but am sending everything back anyway.

Mikey, sorry to hear about your experience. That motherboard isn't a name brand I recognize either.
A clue (as far as I'm concerned) is the 'Tips' and 'Common problems' listed towards the bottom of the page. Even if they don't apply specifically to what you exerienced, I would be wary.
That's why I always go for name brands that I recognize, like ASUS, which is my choice. They do have less expensive motherboards, though I don't think they're as cheap as this one was. At least, if you actually bought it from Amazon, you should be able to get your money back if returned in time. I think it's 'till the end of the this month for xmas items.

Yes I've already told my wife to RMA both the cpu's and the MB's and then all I have to do si drop them off at the UPS store and I get my money back.
I am looking for a small, QUIET, high pressure case fan to replace the current howler that I have. This fan currently blows over the cpu VRM's of a Super Micro dual cpu motherboard.
The MB VRM overheats without this fan.
I need to chase up my current make and model. Let me look.

What is the current fan size and specs and what is your size constraints?
Are you handy-capable in manufacturing your own fan mounts? Or contract with a 3D printer lab to make something for you to mount a high output fan that is quieter than your current.
Obvious choice is just to move to a 120mm format instead of 80mm.
Moves twice as much CFM as your 80mm howler. You could run it at half the 3000 rpm to achieve the same airflow as your howler and at half the noise level.

Tom, this is from Keith's post of ASRock Goes Ampere: Up to 128 Arm Cores in Deep MicroATX
And I quote:
"One of the peculiarities of the ASRock ALTRAD8UD-1L2T platform is that it comes in the company's proprietary Deep microATX form factor, which will prevent it from installing into regular microATX chassis. In fact, we don't even know if it can be mounted into standard ATX or Full ATX towers. Yet, ASRock Rack will probably offer a chassis to install such motherboards into racks or desktop environments."
So "you can apparently install a standard ARM version of Ubuntu and away you "go"." is probably not correct.
