Your not reading. I didn't say you HAD to buy a BTX, I was implying that I was going to get one eventually and it would be stupid to get a new ATX, if your planning on switching it out with a BTX sooner or later.

The whole reason for switch to BTX is not the features, because they will be offered on ATX boards too, the reason is for air flow and sound.

The dynamics and fluidity of the BTX style give you multiple more options, even More ways to overclock, and more efficient motherboard design means a better talk between the northbridge and southbridge.

BTX is simply something the industry should have done before ATX came out, and I am psuched because it will rock.
