I too am curious. I am in need of a complete upgrade, P4 1.7, GF3, 240W power supply, 512 MB pc800 RDRAM, almost 3 year old dell motherboard. I am planning on building a new system end of may/early june, however I have heard of a big change in pc's coming soon, and am not sure if I should wait for those to come or just build a new comp using existing hardware. The main reason I am concerned is because of BTX cases coming soon, so why would I want to build a comp with an ATX case when I won't be able to keep upgrading it for say 4+ years or so if new parts cease to be made for ATX by then and are only made for BTX. I have no idea what the time frame is for BTX and other important changes, I heard mid 2004 but that seems like it could slip to late 2004 early 2005, and I don't want to wait that long.
