Does anyone know when the BTX form factor motheboard will be out? I need a nice small server, but needs to be able to handle a fair bit of work. I was thinking BTX would be ideal...

If anyone has a clue on the cost too, that would be nice :)

I heard from another thread that BTX isn't happening, Intel originally tried to implement it because of the massive trouble they were having getting Prescott to stabilise at high frequencies.

Now though, they seem to have taken a cooler path, concentrating instead on the excellent Pentium-M architecture.

IMO, I would've hated BTX, I mean with most upgrades it's new CPU/MB/RAM and even a new graphics card, but new PSU and case too? :(
 
Fair enough on upgrading a current PC, wouldnt be so bad if i was building from new. I need all new stuff anyway...

Ive seen one link to a motherboard, and its £140 :/ It seems a bit to pricy for my liking :(
