New Form factor anytime soon??

[spaceman]

just curious,im in the process of rebuilding my main rig and before i order a case i want to make certain there are no changes planned in the coming few months.
Will any atx form factor support opteron/athlon64 &mobo?(or 800fsbp4)?

Nothing new for the coming few months. Opteron won't be designed for ATX specifications since that is aimed at the server market. There should be no problems with the Athlon 64 and the coming Pentium 4s.

There are some weird things on the horizon with the new PCI Express, although I don't envisage the PCI Express peripheral bays to arrive until the end of 2004 at least.
