New Comp

[The Astroman]

I think right now is not the best moment to build a new comp. WHy? Because:
1) BTX format mobos will be coming out in a year or so
2) 64 bit processors are only AMD and are brand new, why not wait some time for them to get cheaper and for Intel to make some 64 bit processors too.
3) PSU with cables which are removable (such as the X Connect from Ultra) are new, let's wait for them to become more available

I think right now is not the best moment to build a new comp. WHy? Because:

I'd say, "dual-core"

BTX format mobos will be coming out in a year or so

BTX may be a flop.

64 bit processors are only AMD and are brand new

Theyve been around for a looooooooooooooong time. Would you believe Q3 2003? http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_1276_807^544~73871,00.html

PSU with cables which are removable (such as the X Connect from Ultra) are new, let's wait for them to become more available

Id hardly think this to be a reason to avoid getting a comp.... especially when something like the PowerStream series is available and arguably the best PSU around modular or not (FYI its non-modular)
