i was just on www.anandtech.com and they had an article on the new btx form factor due out next year. it was very interesting.

I'm surprised there's no thread with buzz about this. Doesn't anyone care that in a couple years, all new mobos and cases will have a different design? When did we switch to ATX? This doesn't happen TOO often. I think it's interesting. Although it seems like chipmakers/mobo makers are trying last effort ways to cut down on heat (less voltage, larger heat sinks, different case designs). I would think researching different metals and ways to build transistors would be more effective (and i guess expensive). But that's just me

Change is inherent in everything. Nothing stays the same or it ends its usefulness.

I'd like a smaller case that was cooler, myself. The trend so far is hotter though. Makes me wonder how they plan on getting the heat out of a smaller case. Yea, it is interesting.

BTW are you a Mich. fan?
