I agree, the IDEA behind BTX is good. I own a computer store, and I can assure you that BTX motherboards do burn out. Just the other day one came in. I hopped on NewEgg's web site and search for BTX, and... Hold on! They don't have ANY?!?! This is an Intel standard, so I'll check on their mobos. What? Intel doesn't make them anymore, either? Wow, for such a good idea, it sure doesn't have much industry support. Oh, well. Anyway, I ended up ordering one from Dell at around a 25% premium from an ASUS or MSI board. jcdecker
