I hear BTX cases are not going to be made anymore. Is this true? I could have posted this in the Dell rumors but Dell isn't the onle one who uses BTX. I personaly hate the BTX case. Ive seen the way the drives are put in and just don't like that. Also the I/O ports are on oppsite side thats just not normal.

BTX is a better cooling solution for computers, as it has a clean air path through the case, as well as across the motherboard. This was important for prescott machines, but now since processors are running cooler, the added cooling inherent in the BTX case is not required.

There are many ATX/BTX cases out on the market, which can mount either standard of motherboard. As I can see it, BTX is here to stay. Now, Dell may go away from their BTX cases, but who cares about them.
