ETA on BTX?

I know it is a ways down the road but, can anyone estimate when the BTX cases and motherboards will start to be produced?

I read somewhere at formfactors.org that BTX products could start appearing as soon as the middle of this year. Like you said, however, I wouldn't hold my breath for an all out blitz rollout of the technology. It will likely be several years before the form factor catches on as the current installed base of ATX machines is so broad. I would expect enthusiasts to adopt the form factor first, with corporations and business adopting it when they finally need to start replacing their current PCs. IMO when big business starts buying, the technology will take off and help lower prices and expand into the mass market.
