one problem for sure... if you decide to wait on something new, there will
*always* be something new! you will always be waiting! I have a fried who
kept waiting for the "new" stuff and after a couple of years without a PC,
he says "damn! I keep waiting but it never stops!" He finally went out an
bought current state of the art and is very happy.

Having stumbled and cut myself every time I ventured onto the "bleeding

to the time someone releases (not just announces) new technology before
investing in it.

That way prices, and risks, will be significantly lower and you'll get
better mileage from the equipment you do buy.


Hi Skid,

yes indeed I have been there too! but as I am thinking of spending a
*heap*
of wonga on a new ATX Case (Coolermaster) and a kickass PSU (ANTEC
TrueBlue
480w) I am now thinking twice as I may not see 6 months use from it before
a
new *tech* is released (BTX) which from looking at the white papers seems
to
make sense, it appeals to me. I just have to now *speculate* how long it
will take for BTX to become readily available. .
