Are ATX PSU's going to be outdated anytime soon?

[AudiMan]

I'm thinking of picking up an Antec 550 True Control, but not too sure how much longer the new LGA775 mobos will be sticking with ATX format PSU's

I was going to pick up a MAX-3 but then I heard some new mobos will be coming out this month so I'll pass on that.

Almost all new mobo's will be ATX compatible, there will be very few BTX boards this year.

I'm wondering if BTX boards will have different power plugs for the mobo. I hope not.

from what ive heard other people say, the BTX boards supposedly have the 24-pin mobo plug like on server mobos

it is a different plug, and on the front page of oc.com back when btx was annonced there was a pin out guide and a how to on making an atx psu work on a btx board.

Cool, so hopefully adapters can be purchased.

Todays Servers are tomorrows desktops that is the way it has always been.

I just ordered the True Control 550. Hopefully there won't be any issues with using an adapter.
