Is the Athlon 64 platform BTX?
Living and dying laughing and crying
Once you have seen it you will never be the same
Life in the fast lane is just how it seems
Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean
The platform is cpu independant so the existing p4's and athlons could be used in a future btx motherboardOriginally posted by Trash Man

Let's hope they write a front panel connector standard pinout as well.

i also read (while googleing) that is is not a standard that every manufacture will follow, the article also gave an example (of a form factor) that i have never heard off (can't remeber it). and sorry lost the link ...
oh and the picoBTX looks like a treat for the SFF forum
Hmm, call me cynical, but it seems like btx really doesn't need to be incompatible with atx.
It looks like it's been done that way especially to break compatibility, ensuring anyone buying into BTX has to start from scratch with all new components from the case up..

pci express is going to be the biggest change. wonder if this is why coolermaster are reducing their range. and start tooling up for the btx revolution
I was thinking this to. Maybe they are gonna bring out a massive BTX range and try and push everyone else out of the market.Originally posted by slugs

How do I get my vapo chill or prommy mounted on that
watx is a current standard that has the mobo that side as well
There arent too many of the cases aboot tho
perspex ones can be changed to watx in some cases
I'm sorry but to me I'd say the motherboards on the same side its just the ports are at the bottom with the cpu for airflow and the expansion cards at the top - ALA WATX.

Yer those small Chilli Pro cases had everything flipped around so the CPU was at the bottom, and the cards up the top.Originally posted by Gordy

BTX seems to be a lot more than simply flipping the board though, and as long as manufacturers keep to the specs then the 1-fan-cools-all design will be extremely refreshing.
