Thanks for the link, seems like a good read.

So, how would this thing go into a tower case?

My impression is that this is good for very hot Intel processors, and bad for everything else in your case.

That's quite what I got out of it when I first read about btx... so called "balanced" form factor which focuses overbearingly on the CPU.

 

[Bozo]

All the cases that are ATX format will not work with the new BTX format. You will need a new case.

Oh, I don't like that one bit. :x Where will the devices fit in the typical 10-bay tower?
