Ie socket 939,775,pci express, the new graphic cards, will they still fit in an ATX case?

Probably but then in a while they are going to BTX standard (at least thats what i have heard, anyone have a timetable on this btw) isnt so much a big deal for the case since most of us can fit a comp into a dining room table if we wanted to but the longevity of (some of them extremely expensive) power supplies

Why? What's wrong with ATX?

Apparantly ATX will not be able to supply the amount of power new computers will need so the new BTX formfactor which will also have BTX powersupplies can supply a lot more power for all the new powerhungry equipment *cough*prescott*cough*.
