BTX form factor from Intel

[jord4952]

I read about it in an article from a PC magazine (dont remember wich one) but its about another form factor created by intel called BTX...anyone heard of it?...the design( from what i can recall) is supposed to allow better air flow through the system, thus creating cooler temps. Intel is supposed to debut this form factor sometime within the next year or so. I hope its not a fad like the XTX was...BTX looked pretty cool (no pun intended)

I don't think btx will get big. Atx is fine for now.

BTX is a good design idea and does look very cool, but its uptake has been slower then expected and many form factor's have failed before

Those gateways with BTX form factor where pieces of crap. They lasted on the market for about 3 weeks. Faulty design I suppose by gateway, but I mean gateway isn't known for their inovative designs either.. BTX is a great idea though.
