More MSI on BTX
We've already covered MSI's solutions in depth in this article and in our earlier Computex articles, but they also happened to have a 915 based BTX motherboard on display that we found interesting:
There is beginning to be a pretty severe shortage of Intel 8xx and 915 chipsets, so we'd expect designs like this to transition to 945 very quickly. Also remember that MSI presented us with the world's first BTX Athlon 64 Motherboard earlier this week.

That cmos reset button on Abit's front panel is pretty cool, if not somewhat of a gimmick. It just seems that the mobo mfgrs don't bother in asking the customers what we really want. If a mobo has a great bios then it's lacking in controllers or if it has higher DIMM voltage settings then it has ridiculous colors and LEDs.Doormat - Wednesday, June 1, 2005 - link
Wow, a PC-based cablecard tuner is being held up by DRM requirements? What a surprise. Mark my words it'll never make it to market. I'd venture to say that we might see CC 2.0 tuners for a closed platform like the Xbox360 or PS3 (to turn it into a Tivo-like device), but never for a standalone PC. The MPAA would have to fall apart before a PC cablecard tuner will be allowed to be sold in the US.Waylay00 - Wednesday, June 1, 2005 - link
